I'm no expert but I think we're looking at parts of the vehicle which were outside the pressure hull. Those parts would not have been subjected to such extreme forces when the hull failed.

Most bits of a DSV are actually outside of the pressure hull, just look at the designs of Trieste or Limiting Factor. This is to maximize the space available to human passengers inside the relatively small (and very expensive to construct) hull.

This is an application of Amdahl's Law. Which comes up all the time in parallel computing. The more parallel computing power is available, the more the work itself needs to be parallelizable, otherwise you will be leaving computing power on the table.

Aren't there potential cost savings in running two teams? It seems lettings owners run two teams could help put more cars on the grid without making the sport even more expensive. I really don't know if this is the case but it seems like it could be a factor.

We're on the Fediverse now. Our software has way better bugs.

Yeah, this happened to Mastodon (aka the microblogging part of Fedi) also. I was on Mastodon on-and-off for years before the Twitter exodus, and it was a very different place back then. I can see why people miss the overall community on a platform before it became popular, but then I feel like ActivityPub gives us the tools to shape the communities we want, so we have to engage with it and be more selective than we were before.

After his performance in Monza I was expecting better results from DEV. His qualifying times are okay, that AT just looks slow on Saturday, but he just doesn't seem to have the race pace on any track. Tsunoda generally seems to at least sometimes be able to squeeze results out of the car while De Vries stagnates.

The best way to interact with communities on remote instances is to first subscribe to them, so you can be sure your instance receives all content. The way to do this is to copy the community URL and pasting it in the search box of your instance. That should fetch it (if it wasn't already) and then you can subscribe.

Wachtlijsten, groeiende armoede, en problemen met asielzoekers. Dat zijn ook allemaal wel typische problemen die in Nederland met regelmaat komen en gaan.

Rutte became PM in 2010.

Today, in 2023, he's still PM.

13 years is plenty of time to anger the majority of your constituents in one way or another. Unless you have some sort of religious or cultural support, governments tend to become unpopular over time. And that's not even addressing substantively what happened in NL over the past decade...

I mean obviously "Taxation without Representation" is one of the foundational injustices which led to the declaration of independence, so I'm in favor for letting non-citizen residents vote. But if the state constitution says voting is only for citizens then maybe the state constitution needs to be amended...

A few states do have provisions for letting non-citizens vote in local elections: https://ballotpedia.org/Laws_permitting_noncitizens_to_vote_in_the_United_States

Oh, yeah in that case I guess Lemmy propagates this information so other instances can show the "banned" information on a user profile.

Great, but all this activity also has a subtle downside. Lemmy.world is by far the slowest federating instance I see on the Lemmyverse. It typically takes hours for posts and comments to reach my instance.

Hopefully improvements to Lemmy will make federation faster and more efficient. Sidekiq seems to do a good job on large Mastodon instances.

 

Netscape Navigator 3.0 or higher recommended.

 

The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don't really play them anymore.

What's yours?

 

Beehaw is great. I like the people and the communities here. But it doesn't feel very "Fedi" interacting with just one instance. So what's your favorite community hosted elsewhere?

 

Since 1897 the city of Bergen was served like by an electric tram system. Sadly, like in so many cities, it was shut down in 1965.

Since then however the city has started to dig up and restore the tracks, and slowly the historic electric tramway has come back in service. There are plans to extend the current line to the city center.

 

Really creative use of image-synthesis!

 

Countries around the world are investing billions in onshoring semiconductor fabs. Is this an early sign of wider deglobalizing?
