Not saying that we don't build technically better satellites today compared to Hubble. But Hubble is just not made to image the earth.
Just like Hubble cannot take a good picture of the earth, the satellites that do will not take an image of the crab nebula comparable to Hubble.
Right tool for the right job.
I guess the question is how many choices do we need, can we cooperate on a couple of them?
We already had sysvinit, busybox-init, dinit, epoch, ginitd, initng, launchd, openrc, rinit, shepherd, s6, upstart, smf, finit, BSD rc.d, and probably more.
The crash early, crash often approach of Erlang has made for some amazingly resilient systems.
One time on a project I was working on, some horribly broken code was merged (nobody in the team had even heard of reviewing code). As soon as a specific call was made, it was executed once and then the thread crashed. The only way we noticed was that response times increased with load. All data and behavior was still correct. Whole nodes could go down and all you notice is a dip in performance until it comes back online.
Of course it requires special care in designing. Everything runs in stateless server threads with supervisors restarting them as needed. This in turn requires some language support, like lightweight threads. Our application would happily run tens of thousands of threads on an ancient sparkstation.
Convenient
I'm not sure how we ended up at "taking it out on others". Those are your words. I'm talking about being irritable and yes sometimes overreacting to things that you otherwise could swallow.
Are you also of the impression that depressed people should just think "wow, this is just my brain playing tricks on me but I will just think happy thoughts instead"? It's all about self control, right?
If you can, more power to you. Please share your secrets with science.
I have gone without food for a day, including hard physical work. I'm not doubting that it's survivable and that was not the point of the post either.
"It's miserable yes"
That was the point, this is what turns me into someone who is not as pleasant to be with. Hangry is a very apt description.
I have tried it all, drinking water, coffee, tea, Mindfulness, go for a walk, stuffing meals with fiber to last longer. My mood will still be low and irritable until I eat something once hunger strikes.
The most fun is when you have gone without food for long enough that the shakes come and you need to eat something to be able to prepare food. Fun times indeed 😁
Right now, I'm playing the mind game of insomnia. When I can't sleep my mind gets the idea that I'm starving (which I'm definitely not), adding another reason it's impossible to go to sleep whether I give in or not 😞
We don't have the same bodies ....
Something we might not actually need but use anyway?
Can't even make out dialogue in my native language in a quiet room sometimes. Not just in action scenes, why are ambient sounds louder than the dialogue? 😤
It's interesting what you get used to. My wife is from a country with a strong dubbing culture and where I'm from all foreign films were always subbed.
She finds the subtitles distracting, whereas I barely register them and read almost subconsciously.
