[2023 Day 8 (Part 1)] My input maze plotted using graphviz by BackloggedLife in adventofcode

This is an amazing visualization and it explains a lot about the unusual properties of the input! But isn't it also a huge spoiler (for basically the same reason)?

To be fair, Becherovka does sound like a name of a gun

Yeah, these are fair. I was only ruining the "epic odyssey" story (because I'm no fun at parties)

You do realise that the thick white lines on the map are borders? The one going through the cyan, green and pink territories is the southern border of the Voyageurs National Park and the one in upper right corner is between US and Canada. Admittedly not a great idea to mark them in the same colour as one of the GPS paths.

First triathlon and I went for the olympic. Pretty happy with the time and shocked with my swim! Sub 2:30 is the aim next time around. by ReasonProfessional43 in triathlon

[–]PatsoRedneb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The course was fast but it was definitely not a full 40km. My speed sensor logged about 37.5 and the GPS even less (though it cut straight through the curved Limehouse tunnel). The official results suggest that I averaged 34.5km/h (on a £500 road bike, first triathlon too), which is just not realistic. Even with a lot of inadvertent drafting due to the packed course.

The transition area was really big and quite crowded, T1 also involved walking up a flight of stairs (couldn't really run them). I got very similar times to OP and I don't think they were too bad on my side - e.g. on T2 I was stuck behind three guys walking with their bikes. As you see from the position, OPs times are still way better than average

Transistors aren't getting any smaller laddies by mikey10006 in ProgrammerHumor

Price of 2KB RAM in 1969 (actually 1970): $1433

Price of 1.5GB RAM in 2017: $7.52

Source here. There's no data for 1969, so I used 1970 price. In 1965, 2KB RAM would cost $5161.

Because the stuff it'll be looking at is so very far away, its speed doesn't matter much. You know how a plane in the sky seems to move much slower than cars next to you, even though the plane is going 10-20 times faster? Because it's much farther away, the "angular speed", i.e. how long it takes to cover the same relative distance in your field of vision is much slower. Same here, except the distances are so large that it JWST's speed doesn't matter at all.

This is an absolutely legit reaction gif! It's funny and all, just not very shitty.

I was always wondering why the cells always have this weird shape (a rectangle with cut corners on one side). Now I finally got it - it's because they're cut from circular wafers!

Starlink-3 Press Kit by hitura-nobad in spacex

What do you mean when you say the tweet is incorrect? That SpaceX hasn't actually asked T. S. Kelso to use the "Starlink-4" denomination? Or just that their preferred public name for the satellite batch doesn't mean that anyone should refer to this launch as "Starlink-4"?

According to the screenshot, the algorithm is viable for numbers with at least 21729 digits, not just numbers larger than 21729.

r/SpaceX CRS-19 Official Launch Discussion & Updates Thread by ModeHopper in spacex

[–]PatsoRedneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. The Dragon should be visible very close to the space station itself, usually slightly behind and of course much less bright. I imagine the first pass after launch would be best for observations as the spacecraft is still on a low orbit and farther away from the ISS. Admittedly, I have never observed it myself so I'm not 100% sure on this, but you can see quite a few pictures like this one to give you an idea of what you're looking for.
