You cannot do this with two people. Not possible. You need at the very least three (bun in practice a lot more), and the middle one is the info barrier. The middle makes sure no details about the implementation leaks and the middle team is under oath and likely needs to be more technologically competent than analysis and implementation team and also needs to be legally competent.

And that is why you cannot automatize this process.

It baffles the mind that Microsoftware - known for decades for being unreliable shit - is allowed on space missions at all, no matter how uncritical the role. The potential for malware alone is ludicrous. "Hey, pay us 2500 bitcoins if you want your space capsule back".

Then again, I figure the days when NASA did the right stuff are long past.

I mean, that's what people said about Michelle Obama when she proposed a lot of this stuff a decade or more ago...

La Nina turned out to be extremely weak. It basically ended last month. We're already seeing indications that we're swinging back towards La Nino again.

I agree. I used to be a big fan of Raspberry Pi and SBCs in general. But I realized for 99% of what I want to do with a small computer, mini computers work so much better even though they are (or used to be) more expensive. I also grew really tired of dealing with custom distros and kernel forks for the various SBCs. For server applications (home automation, little file servers, etc), I'd much rather deal with AlmaLinux on an x86 mini pc. I'm tired of kernel forks and device trees and funky bootstrapping systems.

Obviously if you working with hardware sensors, SBCs have their place. I've seen some very cool hardware projects done with Pi Zeros recently.

Wish you weren’t posting AC so more people saw this.

and then some for overhead.

Maybe brick and mortar stores will become less expensive then Amazon, but maybe not if the profits are pocketed there.

Heh I love AS/400 machines. They’re so alien when you compare them to anything PC like.

You not only need to do a clean-room, you need to be able to prove it and that set-up does not allow it.

Biden caused a global pandemic that affected supply chains from top to bottom? Wow that's incredible!

You mean like the president? Oh wait, captain bone spurs.

A Trump surcharge. Gasoline is now averaging $4 a gallon thanks to his and Israel’s war.

And 90% of it comes from China on boats powered by (fill in the blank)

Can they code something up to retrieve email?
I mean having a way to code in space seems like a good idea. Like what if you need to calculate some shit?

This. We have SSO, and yet when I open Teams, it is Gettings things ready" for fscking ages. Only to eventually tell me I need to log in. Which I click and - surprise - I am already logged in.

But the worst thing is Tem's trying to do everything. You can message there, store files there, etc, etc. I don't want yet another "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" - sorry there's no English equivalent really, that's a very negative "Jack of all trades".
