The voyager probes only got as far as they did because of their trajectory that got some massive (and rare) slingshots, it will take ages for the new horizons probe to get anywhere near as far.
We could probably spam missions to some other planets, who will pay for it though? We are not at the stage where an 'out of the box’s mission can do that I think?
Going to bed early enough that your actually awake before your alarm really makes mornings easy. I didn’t used to be a morning person but I kinda am now!
The next question does then become - how do I make myself go to bed at a sensible time?
I second the couch to 5k comments. Additionally, If you have a parkrun (or international equivalent) give that a go for motivation and to help see time gains - they allow walking so you can do walk/jog intervals.
I do want to ask though - why the hour between getting up and running? I (generally) recommend against running after eating. Get up, go for a run, then eat/shower etc after
In that case, the entire windows ecosystem collapses when Microsoft messes up windows defender… at least if its spread out it hurts less people
Oh, ok, that’s annoying then. One of those cases where it feels like the person putting the course together has never actually interacted with children?
Is the fact that C# produced executables also a problem? With python you can ‘protect’ non lab computers at the school by just not installing the python runtime on them. Teach them c# and I guarantee they will be making executables to cause trouble.
Generally agree with you that teachers should be able to choose at least one of the languages to teach. basic web dev stuff is probably pretty useful to them though if it includes JavaScript?
I leant from scratch as my first programming language in year 12.
They tried to teach OOP in year 13, but I didn’t really get it until university.
This was years ago at this point, I think they introduced the programming GCSE the year after I did my A-Levels.
A scripting language like python is the ideal language to start with because you can JUST learn the programming bit without worrying about OOP, project structures, compiling etc.
Lots of us have the experience of being the kid in that situation though. I learnt python in secondary school.
I learnt to program in python (in year 12). It was pretty good:
PHP is native in Linux then?
How is that different to something like powershell?
It’s not a Microsoft problem
The British then forgot why they gave everyone citrus, screwed it up and started getting scurvy again.
Part of the problem is that most people will spend most of their time around people of a similar wealth level. They will therefore always be around people richer than themselves and generally see less people that are much poorer (at least in a personal context).
This means that ‘rich’ people don’t feel rich. (Unless they are self aware enough to realise it). It also means that your references for morals etc are now other rich people rather than ‘normal’ people (although it’s normal to them!)
Therefore, they always want to acquire more money, and their references for how to go about that are the richer people who have already done similar things.
It’s up again now!
Getting cremposting going would be great!
Feddit.uk has been great since the admin swap.
I messaged the admins on discord, it will be coming up again. Unknown ETA currently.
Small instance problems™
Good to know it’s missed though 🙂
Edit: link to their discord (Lemmy is just a part) https://discord.com/invite/sffa-959795934240309248
Free trials on most cloud storage providers should be free and remain forever* as long as you occasionally keep the account active.
Obviously, nothing is forever, providers might go bust, close their free tiers etc.
Tasks digitally, thought processes on paper.
Maybe I could have been more explicit. Without the planetary alignment that made the voyager probes possible an equivalent mission would be ridiculously expensive/impossible due to the fuel requirements (and wouldn’t be able to visit all of the planets)
If starship/new glen/the rocket lab one work, it might become more feasible.
Instead, sending smaller, simpler probes that just visit one planet/moon would be much more cost effective, but still expensive.
We have already got a lot of the low hanging planetary science fruit from existing missions. New missions would need new/novel sensors or need Landers/aircraft which make them much more expensive.
Even just a ‘standard’ interplanetary mission isn’t just an out of the box job like current earth satalites are becoming.
