10·17 days agoIt’s not so much that she’s thinking, it’s that the language that she’s parroting requires training oneself to doublethink to maintain the illusion that the Trump administration is anything but a tool of fascism.

That might be helpful. So far I was skipping the window manager and just opening the application by itself in xinit.
Thanks, I’ll give that a look.

Technology@lemmy.world•An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbitEnglish
4·2 months agoI didn’t say it was impossible, I said it was hard. Bigger radiators absorb more heat when exposed to the sun. One of the problems becomes keeping the solar panels exposed to sunlight while keeping the radiators out of it. Putting them behind the solar panels might work, but they have to be smaller than the solar panels and any energy the solar panels don’t convert to electricity will be re-radiated as heat and picked up by the radiators, requiring a larger size. You could put them on the 'back" side of the spacecraft, but that limits the size. As mentioned in another comment, you could position the spacecraft in geostationary orbit on the terminator, but then reaction mass requirements for station keeping and data signal latency go way up. It’s a problem that has been worked around by people much smarter than me, but a lot of work went into figuring it out.

10·2 months agoSpace isn’t cold, it’s nothing. It’s a vacuum and vacuum is terrible at heat transfer by convection. It’s why thermos bottles have a vacuum layer to prevent heat transfer. You can try to lose some heat by radiant cooling, but that’s slow and if you’re using solar for power then any radiators become heat sinks picking up more heat from the sun. Then there’s conduction, and again, there’s really nowhere to conduct any heat to, what with the large distance between objects and the vacuum and all. Thermal management in space is kind of a hard problem.

P divided by P =1 and so can be cancelled as shown.

Is that recent? I can’t find anything about it getting cancelled because of content, only ratings. At least that was the official reason given each time. Which episode number is this?

41·4 months agoYou can buy cans of just corn in water. Those are mostly full of corn, with water filling the space between. Creamed corn is a whole other thing, and while it has some corn kernels in it, it’s mostly meant to be eaten as-is or used as-is in a recipe. The liquid in creamed corn is not meant to be discarded.
