Fantastic work. I especially like the Code view, but when combined all together it looks amazing. The minimal settings seem just the right size and look as well.

I don't see a way to slow down. So they would be travelling thru that solar system at .2c. At that speed, they wouldn't be in that solar system for long.
Imagine this was Proxima Centauri doing the same mission on our solar system. Assuming that some of the swarm was on target enough to go thru the inner solar system:
Mars is ~13 light minutes from the sun. So double that for the whole diameter of the orbit, 26 light minutes. At .2c that's 130 minutes total transit time (less really unless it passes really close to the sun). So probably less than 2 hours total in the inner solar system. And that's assuming you can hit that small of a target from 4.25 light years away.
Light distance Sun-Saturn is 1.3 hours. 2.6 diameter. 13 hour transit time for most of the solar system.
You don't know where the planets actually are going to be, or were to point a camera or any other instrument, except the sun. And you have probes that weigh grams.
That's a tough problem, without considering the laser.
I honestly thought that the scrollbar didn't work at all until I read this comment. If I put the site on my right monitor, I can grab the scrollbar by just going to the edge. But on my left monitor, where I typically have the browser, it's almost impossible.
I too find it very annoying, especially for such a long article.
My understanding is they went with 800 to 1000 nm (infrared), or ~ 375 to 300 THz. I'm not sure as to the total combined bandwidth of all of WiFi 6 or 7, but 75,000 GHz band gives them a lot to play with.
I would like to see the same study done with a drastic change in exercise and muscle mass.
I have always struggled with my weight. I find that the solution is always diet. Exercise does make me feel better, but doesn't seem to have much effect on my weight loss, if at all. At least in the short term.
I assume more muscle mass, would mean a higher resting metabolic rate. But how much. Is the effect large or small? Is it like this study, where sure it changes, but not enough to ever be able to eat like a "normal" person?
I enjoy learning new programming languages. My favorite that I've played around with is Elixir. But I don't see that ever being used at my current job.
The language I reach for the most is C#. LINQ is great and the base libraries are solid. Plus, the industry I'm in (building controls) is largely Windows based, so that obviously influences that choice.
I really enjoy the concepts and syntax of OCaml, but I've repeatedly lost of the battle of making it work on Windows.
The JVM has become much more popular in the building controls industry in the last decade. So I've been thinking of picking up a JVM language this year. Trying to decide between Clojure and Kotlin.
Makes me wonder about debugging in a time crunch. Or intensely learning a new framework. Any of those situations where the world disappears and you come out of it hours later.
I spent 6 years in the Navy, 4 of those on a fast attack. I would say that it was an exercise in the extremes. There were times of extreme boredom and extreme stress. I leaned a ton of interesting things. The crash course in real world systems and how they work together is something that I'm not sure I could have gotten in any other environment. But on the other hand, I easily cleaned more than I have in the rest of my life.
Another interesting thing, is to see how people react in these situations. Some people can't take the high stress, some the long hours, some the long stretches of boredom. And they deal with it in different ways. And it can bring out the best and worst in people. And everyone comes out of the experience changed.
AvalonEdit, the text editor for SharpDevelop implemented ropes. I think SharpDevelop was folded into MonoDevelop and the text editor there was changed. So I don't think MonoDevelop currently uses ropes?
I had more than one refer to diagrams, but it didn't show the diagrams. Example:
Me: Explain Feynman diagrams
Richard Feynman: Ok. Let’s start with the basics. If we have a simple electron traveling from x=0 to x=3 then we could use this diagram: The node circled in blue means that the electron isn’t interacting with anything and is just moving, the node circled in orange means that the electron is interacting with the photon and has an “integrated” or a sum of all possible solutions with differing amounts of spin.
Agreed. The limitations of the C-64 lead me to learn a whole lot more about the internal workings of computers than I think I ever would have learned using something more advanced. Unfortunately(?) that has been the only assembly that I really ever used extensively. Still, it was a great initial foundation.
