Superconductors look far more promising than the economics of nuclear power (which have gotten worse, not better) or fusion (still perpetually 20+ years out), and it's a critical field to work on because we desperately need stuff that superconducts at LN2 (or warmer) temperatures for things like medical imaging, because we're going to run out of helium completely in 100-200 years (and it will become wildly uneconomical well before then.)
People make a big deal about the acrylic glass not being rated for the depth, but I think it's almost impossible that it was the window, and think it must have been the hull:
* The properties acrylic are well understood, and the strength of an acrylic disc is trivial to calculate, even if not "rated" you can easily calculate if it's strong enough
* The window should fail visually with a lot of warning before rupture
* If the window failed with the titanium end cap, there would be no reason for implosion of the carbon fiber hull
The hull on the other hand is an irregular/non-homogenous part that is impossible to model accurately. There was no way to know how strong it was without extensive testing on a number of identical hulls- which they never did. The solidworks modeling method they used to give a ~2x margin of safety was nonsense as it ignores the realities of stress cycles, defects, etc.That's not something I come across a lot - all my software (that I use) has a visual interface, and so raw editing of text/config files is not something we do.
So context really comes into play here. I can see how this would be very useful for some programs, and near useless for others. And more specifically useful for those who consume user-edited configuration files.
These people imagine themselves practicing their context-free pedantry in the workplace and saying something like "Go to Massachusetts for your abortion" or something analogous regarding race, disability, sexual identity, etc. and getting crushed for their speech.
It's not the speech. In Alex Jones's case, the speech led directly to violence against the families of the dead kids. For the people who imagine themselves to be future victims of speech restrictions, it's not their speech, either. It's their lack of understanding that speech has consequences, like an inherent inability to work alongside others who cannot then trust them. What woman in Texas, for example, can trust a man who believes she has no right to control her own body when he could snitch on her?
"Where are the ISO images?
There are no ISO images. This project does not cater to non-technical users."
This comes off as really abrasive. Wanting an ISO image to quickly test this out is not an indicator of someones technical ability.
I'm sorry I don't want to boot up a linux vm, install a lot of development packages and then build my own boot image just to try this out.
