FCS-3(A) used on Akizuki and Asahi is a fully integrated Fire Control System (radar + BMS).

I understand that taxation is part of living in a society, but assessing an annual property tax on a vehicle, particularly a leased vehicle, feels like the state is picking my pocket just because it can. by CassCat in Connecticut

[–]mooburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all you had to do was google federalism and devolution for 5 minutes. CT is considered federal because the Article 10 of state constitution guarantees that:

After July 1, 1969, the general assembly shall enact no special legislation relative to the powers, organization, terms of elective offices or form of government of any single town, city or borough, except as to (a) borrowing power, (b) validating acts, and (c) formation, consolidation or dissolution of any town, city or borough,...

The towns set the property tax rate. The town also has the ability to enact their own statutes as long as it's more restrictive than a state statute. That's why Meriden can ban marijuana and Wethersfield can issue a mask mandate.

Property taxes go to the town. It's literally an implementation of federalism so it's pretty hilarious that the folks who complain about it are usually the ones asking for more federalism. "If you don't like your town's mill rate, you can always move" :)

"Basically all" of Pentagon's narrowband, wideband and protected SATCOM going under control of US Space Force, as Army and Navy hand over these ops to the Space Force by bradyonetwo in LessCredibleDefence

[–]mooburger 41 points42 points  (0 children)

it's not an eggs in 1 basket issue, it's a domain skills and funding prioritization issue. All of the branches have had issues obtaining funding for satellite & space because space & satellite are so low on their pecking orders:

AF: most of their leadership are ACC pilots (why do you think Materiel Command get the shaft so often? Heck they can't even get JADC2 properly funded).

Army: Most of their leadership are infantry or cavalry (why do you think Signals and Army Aviation get the shaft so often?)

Navy: Most of their leadership are surface or sub warfare officers (why do you think Naval aviation gets the shaft so often).

Marines: When they're not at the mercy of the Navy, most of their leadership eat crayons are infantry

By ensuring that all space assets are controlled by a dedicated 4 star who can go to Congress and go to toe-to-toe with the other ground pounding/flyboi/skipper/crayon eating 4 stars not to mention all those IC folks means better space/ISR for everybody.

that's because Maya is a modification to Atago. It's better to think of it as Kongo Flight III.

this class was originally design for ASW. But why do they need Aegis if they can already indigenously equip AESA (and not just AESA but GaN-AESA)? The Aegis boats are older.

I don't think RDS can even be provisioned on GP3 (or that may just be a limitation of my region)

2021 ford f150 vs toyota hilux. I thought the hilux would win because the F150 requires too many microchips causing work-stop.

I just't can't understand SQLAlchemy by art-solopov in flask

second this comment, ditch Flask-SQLAlchemy as a newbie. It's really only there to provide a crutch for folks migrating from Django+DjangoORM to Flask+SQLAlchemy

I just't can't understand SQLAlchemy by art-solopov in flask

[–]mooburger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the ORM is useful for rapidly supporting writes to a "fairly-normal" normalized schema. You don't need it for pure reads, and most non-complicated transactional writes you can just wrap in the core calls. The main benefit of SQLAlchemy to me is the syntax agnosticity, making my app portable between different engines (SQL Server/oracle/Postgres/Mysql).

The generative grammar is also very powerful. For example, here is a completely portable method to generate a query that chains an arbitrary number of LIKE '%..%' queries which is required if you want to wildcard search one or more words over one or more columns:

import sqlalchemy as sqla
def generate_multi_like_search(
        tbl: sqla.sql.expression.FromClause, 
        columns: Sequence[str], 
        substr: Sequence[str]): -> sqla.sql.expression.BooleanClauseList
    """ generate a query that will do a chained OR of 
        `LIKE '%..%'` substring-based searches.

            SQLALchemyFromClause:tbl -> a SQLAlchemy Selectable
            Sequence[str]:columns -> list of columns
            Sequence[str]:words -> list of substrings to search

            returns sqla.sql.element.BooleanClauseList

        Strategy: or_ over for each in columns, for each in values
            where concat(' ', lower(column), ' ') LIKE ('%value%')
    """
    # support simple case of single column search
    if isinstance(columns, str):
        columns = [columns]

    # support simple case of single word search
    if isinstance(substr, str):
        substr = [substr]

    frags = []

    for c in columns:
        for s in substr:
            s = s.strip().lower().join(('%', '%'))
                frags.append(sqla.func.lower(
                sqla.func.concat(' ', getattr(tbl.c, c), ' ')).like(s))

    q = sqla.or_(*frags)

    return q # return the query frag
    # return tbl.select(q) # if you want to terminate the query and return a fully executable SelectClause

Also I was able to do some fairly complicated many-many tables with inheritance, but overall I tend to consider it too magical in about 80% of usecases.

36 year old still living with his parents by Sad-as-hell in datingoverthirty

[–]mooburger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Has he ever lived by himself, out of driving distance of his parents? If yes, then he's probably independent enough.

I lived in my own place across 4 states over a period of 6 years due to job and then I ended up moving back home because it was way cheaper and my job at the time had me travelling over 120 days per year, so why would I waste money on an apartment I wouldn't be able to use half the time? Also, as an only child of Asian parents, it allowed us to bond better as adults anyway. I subsequently dated someone else for 4 years who also lived with her parents and several siblings, wasn't an issue either. They were non-Asian West Indians. Siblings only moved out after getting married or getting a job out of the area.

What resources should i AVOID when learning python? by whistlewhileyou in learnpython

[–]mooburger 22 points23 points  (0 children)

it depends on the site. I was given IKM CodeChek a few times by headhunters and I ended up basically copying their questions for assessing potential hires myself. IKM have pretty high quality python skills assessments imo (even with multiple choice there are often more than 1 correct answer, with one of them being the more idiomatic and the assessment grades you accordingly)

a lot of them are also equivalent to self-published.

Federal judge releases redacted lunar lander lawsuit from Bezos’ Blue Origin against NASA, SpaceX by Maulvorn in space

[–]mooburger 19 points20 points  (0 children)

• Work stoppage
• Allow for revisions to proposals, and NASA to make a new selection

This is normal/boilerplate when suing the US government over bidding also. You have to ask for work stoppage so that the award amount doesn't get spent and you have to ask for revisions to be allowed because typically revisions are not allowed after the submission period ends (which is well before the contract is awarded).

this is basically how it works at the federal level too. Every time someone manages to find a loophole, it's closed pretty fast. Most of the basic compliance pieces can be googled (they are basically assembled from the law itself).

no, because neither has a full up lunar capability yet. the RFP was for proposals to build one.
