Snaps really suck. They are bulky. They are slow. They are annoying.

Submission + - SPAM: Together, we travel -- A Panel on Technology for Accessibility in Space
An anonymous reader writes: Last week, the IEEE conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology / Space Computing Conference, which took place in Mountain View, held a panel on a topic that is not commonly discussed in the space industry: technology to make space travel accessible to everyone.
Among the panelists was Stephane Ghiste (European Space Agency), who, in 2022, "initiated the Fly! Feasibility Study, a project dedicated to assessing the technical, medical, and operational considerations for flying an ESA astronaut with a physical disability. He was also a member of the 2022 ESA Astronaut Selection Panel, where he helped define the selection criteria for the latest astronaut selection campaign." Other panelists included doctors, roboticists, and technologists.
Conference chair Ivan Perez, who moderated the discussion, writes in a linkedin post: "Our achievements as a civilization will not be measured by how far a select few can reach, but by how far we travel together.".
How do you benefit from accessible technology in your day to day life?

Can we make anything a bit better for ourselves without the boomers complaining?
I live in a boring dull place. I have an option to travel and work, which means I'm more productive but I also rest better when I'm not on the clock. What's their problem?

Comment Re:Use Ada (Score 2) 121
Maybe not applicable to this case, but at least for low-level systems programming, Ada is too slow (about half the speed of C). In those cases, using Rust makes a difference.

Clearly this is a sham. I hope the authorities are all over them and review every comma of any documentation they file for possible fraudulent activities. It will only make Dumbo expose himself more and take on higher risk. Look at what happened the last time he did that in NY.
Also, the stock market is not for the naive and inexperienced. If someone is stupid enough to want to pay extra money to a crook and thief for a product that promotes right wing crap, I say 'let them'. They will lose the money. And like all things that Dumbo touches, he'll bring it to the ground eventually, so the money will be lost either way.

Comment It's a barbaric amount (Score 2) 71
To put things into perspective:
- It's the equivalent of losing a chunk of ice covering an area as big as the state of California that extends 18 yards down.
- It's more than 19000 times the combined weight of all of humanity.
It's insane.

Stop supporting sim cards so that they cannot be classified as smartphones but rather VoIP end points and therefore don't need to qualify. Because apple will always try to find a stupid loophole instead of helping society.

Starting to make a new language, a new library, a new app, is easy and exciting. Creating the necessary support for efficient and economical software engineering, growing an industry to back it up, writing books and tutorials, and engaging a community that will maintain it in the long run is boring and tedious and very, very hard.
As these matters become harder, we starting a new one without the restrictions and the baggage of past mistakes is quicker than getting people mobilized towards a common goal.
So, there'll be more abandoned languages and libraries and apps that nobody uses. And it'll never stop.
It's similar to why we keep our garage filled with sports equipment we never use, guitars we'll never play, and endless unfinished projects. The beginning is easy and exciting and filled with possibilities. Getting through the finish line... that's what counts.
