That's why I use picture-by-picture (PBP) on my 32" 4K. Two DisplayPort connected to the same computer and control them independent of each other. I also love how my Ubuntu virtual Desktop only rotates the primary screen leaving the other half static.

When needed I can fullscreen across both.

No borders!

Since guests are free in ultimate, we could probably go from 150 to 50 licenses. However that requires us to do a cleanup of repo roles and limit who can contribute. We also have a divide between pure developers and IaC users, but can only have one kind of license. It's fragmenting our users, and in order to justify Ultimate we need to force all users on GitLab for everything, even when a team has an alternative they are happy with (like security scans).

I don't have the technical details, but I work in a field moving from FPGAs to CPU and all solutions require AVX512. These are software defined radios. The vendors say there is no other way to make it work on higher bit rates.

As someone who does modern ranging, you are pretty much spot on.

Fewer and fewer do ranging these days, and the few that does only uses it for contingency situations or to validate GPS receivers during launch and early phase.

It's starting to transition into software defined these days. The antennas themselves are similar size, depending on frequency but the backend systems are now down to a standard server (at least up to 250-ish megasymbols and increasing).

Things like viterbi are designed to be done efficiently in hardware. Doing it in software is limited to CPU core speed. Multi threaded solutions are hard to engineer as the signal is a continuous stream and cannot trivially be split up for parallel processing.

I do grounds stations for a living. Currently building edge clouds to do this at scale where the dishes are placed around the globe.

Mailgun and others also have a free tier for relaying smaller numbers of email.

I've configured Postfix to use it for fallback if I can't deliver directly.

I use Digital Ocean and seem to struggle a bit delivering directly. 60 emails this month had to be delivered through mailgun since direct failed. Their free tier is up to 1250 emails per month.

Polar area here. So, in the transition from summer to winter the day is shortened about 15-20 minutes each day. And vice versa from winter to summer.

And at some point in the summer, the sun never sets. During winter it never rises...

Time isn't easy on a global scale.

Could be different in your country, but here in Norway there wouldn't be an invoice in the box. The whole idea is that payment is totally separate. Email invoice or separate invoice per post, unless you pay immediately when ordering.

The shop you ordered from does not know or care how the transaction is done between you and Klarna.

Currently AWS Ground consists of a very small set of sites and antennas, not enough for any constellation. It's also very limited in terms if services.

Norway only has 680 dead from covid, so not much tolerance on collateral deaths due to the vaccine. The vaccine has about half of the mortality rate of covid, by raw numbers alone in Norway.

Of course, younger women are more at risk and nurses were the the ones who received most doses. This could explain the outlier as well.

With them dropping the lowest license tier, you better start using all the features... We have been Enterprise users since 2015, but are evaluating our options.

Most of the cargo doesn't come from Norway. We try to ship as much as possible from vendors directly to the ship, and not via Northern Norway where the entities involved are located.

Denmark then becomes ideal as we are close with the Danes politically and it's already a shipping hub.

We could have used Cape Town, but it would be harder to have control. Very little cargo fits on these planes and the flights are extremely expensive. We operate a satellite ground station there used for critical missions.

Exactly. I had a bunch of servers on that ship sent from Norway by truck.

OpenStack and Kubernetes coming to Troll this season!

And smaller dish has larger beam width, making it really difficult to track the signal.

Another gotcha would be UDP based services. Since it is packet oriented and not connection oriented, when should it re-resolve? Most will not until the application is restarted.

Autoscaling is a field of its own, yes. Lots of footguns, though.

Things aren't black or white, but SaaS typically removes one layer of security (the corporate firewall). Misconfigurations are then typically exposed to the whole world.

Multiple playbooks is possible, and joining them into a large one by imports. You also have tags to do target with more precision.
