Npm registries seem to be down - affecting build servers and production systems!

Hear hear!

>It was fun, it was challenging, it was rewarding, it was amazing.

This cannot be overstated

Spot on argument.

Especially valuable piece of advice is to find 25-30 minutes of uninterrupted time and aim to knock out one small task. Even if you didn't finish it, note down progress and next steps. Go at it again in the next slot.

Taking notes will both help you track progress and give you a sense of movement. It will also make sure that you can easily regain context in the next attempt.

Absolutely this "it's an effective brain training system."

Apart from helping with faster memorisation, I have noticed that writing a problem down / solving on paper improves problem solving significantly. I always diagram out the problem & solution on paper whenever i get stuck.

"Treasure such places. They don't tend to last."

True true true. Especially if people are building quirky cool stuff in smaller orgs, its simultaneously a great place to work and has a higher extinction probability.

I still use   to put more than one space between 2 words in text. this requirement pops up surprisingly often. Too lazy to wrap them in spans and use paddings!

Impressive achievement and more power to them. But does anyone else find the use of the word "showstopper" peculiar here. In management-speak, showstopper usually means - "There are issues. But we will live with them today. Hopefully fix them tomorrow before anyone notices"

Not an expert. But there are a few ways to look at this.

Bodies that are in stable orbit can have only a specific velocity which is a function of its distance from & mass of whatever it is orbiting. So orbiting satellite's speed can be inferred from its orbital height.

There are ground based tracking stations that can technically measure the speed of any orbiting body.

Also read somewhere that LEO satellites could use GPS receivers to get a fix on their position. measuring change in this position also gives velocity. There a bunch of limiting conditions around max-height and velocity for this to work though.

True but most of the research is around how to safely handle liquid cargoes.

What the article talks about is 2-phase cargoes, cargoes which are expected to behave as solids but could turn to liquid under certain unpredictable conditions.

Accounting for these scenarios might involve upsetting the economics of said cargo.

Edge cases basically :D
