Not saying that we don’t build technically better satellites today compared to Hubble. But Hubble is just not made to image the earth.
Just like Hubble cannot take a good picture of the earth, the satellites that do will not take an image of the crab nebula comparable to Hubble.
Right tool for the right job.

The crash early, crash often approach of Erlang has made for some amazingly resilient systems.
One time on a project I was working on, some horribly broken code was merged (nobody in the team had even heard of reviewing code). As soon as a specific call was made, it was executed once and then the thread crashed. The only way we noticed was that response times increased with load. All data and behavior was still correct. Whole nodes could go down and all you notice is a dip in performance until it comes back online.
Of course it requires special care in designing. Everything runs in stateless server threads with supervisors restarting them as needed. This in turn requires some language support, like lightweight threads. Our application would happily run tens of thousands of threads on an ancient sparkstation.
Quite popular in automotive and other embedded applications. License and support costs were driving the last company I worked for to explore Linux as an alternative though.
Buggy software with a confusing UI is good enough.
Me at a previous workplace.
-This is a piece of shit, who is the code owner of this module.
Ah, it’s me (“inheriting” code ownership when someone left was common)
Who did this change
Ah, it was me
Surely I just made a minor change to this line here, who wrote the function.
it was me, it was me all the way down
Fits the general theme of the thread as it was not giving any trouble for a year before being found.
Cold press would make it extra virgin baby oil?
Especially the part where it is claimed that users want to go home and pay bills. I have never once actually wanted to pay a bill.
We use slack for some things and teams for some things at work. Can’t say I really prefer one over the other. My dream is if we could just decide on one platform so I can find shit. Any of them!
It’s never too late to give up!
Same on boost
45 year old here, I remember my father using cheques a long time ago. (non-USAian)
Read your comment, thought well that sucks and proceeded to do exactly the same 🤦♂️
Sounds like Ubuntu pro maybe?
The charge port should be on the left side which is the right side. Not the right side which is the wrong side. -TeslaBjörn
That’s just for tax evasion
That looks like a timeline
My parents had them and were ecstatic at how great they were. Unfortunately that’s in the past tense.
They lasted longer than other nonstick, but in the end they started peeling just like other brands and they went back to cast iron and stainless.
You just lack imagination. Some hikvision security cameras (the large, very expensive enterprisey ones) restart every couple of days due to “buildup of cosmic radiation”.
No matter how competent you are as a developer, there is no escaping cosmic radiation! 😉
