The article phrases this weirdly, but they are talking about the 40,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine that Eutelsat is trying to match, not about LEO satellites.

What I miss in this article are some references to some of the great research on Starlink performance and characteristics that has come out in the past ~2 years. [1] and [2] come to mind. They also go into much more detail on the 15s interval, quote [1]:
> Interestingly, we observe that the Starlink OWD (one-way delay) often noticeably shifts at interval points that occur at 15 s increments. Further investigation reveals the cause to be the Starlink reconfiguration interval, which, as reported in FCC filings [71], is the time-step at which the satellite paths are reallocated to the users.
AFAIK it is not the dish itself that does the tracking but a central orchestration.

100% what I came here to say. My film camera restricts me from checking each photo instantly, keeps other people from checking each photo ("Show me! Do I look good in that? Take another one") or from sharing online.
As an added bonus, I get to relive my trip a few weeks later when I get my films back from the lab.
I have to add that I don't think any of my films were ever destroyed by an airport scanner.

One caveat here is serialization. Writing your (or another package's) enum to a database will get you in trouble if you ever want to add another value in the middle. Sure, you can be careful and should document this, but who knows

I'm not sure if its DDG, but the tech company Pipedream should consider rebranding or improving their SEO. A quick Internet search did not yield the results I expected...

I remember this coming up in a blog post by the creator of Shellcheck a while back [0] and being discussed here [1].
One reason given is this:
> Assuming the OSS projects aren't a conflict of interest
Apple is so secretive even internally that you can never guarantee whatever you're working on in your free time does not conflict what someone at Apple is working on secretly.

> without some form of translation or emulation
IIRC that's why Rosetta2 exists. The question is more whether there are issues despite that

I'm guessing you'd want to go with Server Core [0], which is not a full-blown GUI but still supports windows.

Leaner websites can only reduce bandwidth strain, there's no impact on latency, right?

Could something like this be useful in space? With less heat generated (?), less power requirements (?), and immune to SEU(?)

Oh absolutely, I miss my 12" Macbook so much! It was underpowered, so I really hope they bring back an M1(X) version of that

> minimalism: Marie Kondo says that we should remove all the things that "don't spark joy"
> maximalism: our homes should be places full of stuff that sparks joy!
I'm no expert on interior design but that seems to be the same thing. Minimalism was co-opted by the very consumerism it initially criticized, with corporations telling us that we need more (white, square, lifeless) stuff. If your room only has a ornamental bed your inherited from your great-grandparents and a thrifted wardrobe in it, i would still consider that minimalist
