The article has basically nothing to do with the title. It is a recap of the plot of the foundation series and an extended analogy about how trump is the same as the Mule
From reading a bunch of biographies from that time, I do get the feeling that buzz was a bit of a loud mouth asshole, but I don’t see Why you think that makes the dedication sarcastic? He wrote this well before he joined nasa
I think the point is they shouldn't pay for the R&D or the construction of the rockets either - just pay for the launches and let the market sort out what vehicles are required.
But doesn't this assume that there will be some sort of 1v1 matchup between the pilots and the drones? I don't see any reason why this should be true, as the drones should be able to be produced much cheaper. So sure, maybe I human pilot could always shoot down a single drone, but how would they go against a swarm of 50 drones all perfectly coordinating with each other.
Your example of Alan Kay isn't a very good one though, because we can objectively test their opinions on say, the best way to implement `malloc` by having them do it and testing the results against the computer. There is no such equivalent for literature.
Its much easier to manage multiple accounts. I think on the website you can only be logged in as one account at a time. The twitter app has a vertical 'tab' for each account.
Why not? Trump didn't win them by much, but it can still be a big swing if Obama won these states by a lot. A quick google shows that this appears to be the case.
Trump may have won michigan by only 10k votes, but Obama had a margin of half a million in 2012.
> Unfortunately, most of the deplorables would just find new reasons to hate Democrats
That is objectively false - Trump won because white voters in the rust belt swung 25 points from Obama to Trump. If you were right that they voted only Republican out of tribalism then Obama would never have won those states.
I host https://babbl.xyz on DO with a single $10 server for the socket and the web, and a $10 server for mysql. This can support around 500 active players.
I also did a more action asteroids clone (http://triangle-wars.com), and this would only support I guess 50 players on a $10 server.
The limiting factor seems to be the number of packets / sec that need to be broadcast to all players. If each player is changing state 2/sec, and you have 50 players, then the sever needs to relay 100 packets/sec...
Unlike some other comments in this thread, I didn't find JSON parsing to have any effect on performance.
More like the new silverlight, especially in the way that big companies are jumping on board. I think it will suffer the same fate as well and be quietly abandoned.
I have a 100k / month web app, and I have one $10 server for the app, and one for the db on DO. Based off the CPU + disk usage, I'd say I could grow 4x and stay with the same setup. It will be a lonngg time before I need a load balancer.
Either my workload is atypical or people massively overestimate the server power they need.
