  • that about 1/1000 of your phones RF power output, and the distance is 384400km

  • Omni-directional antennas?

  • Android Self hosting

  • Ah okay. The Chromecast thing is a killer feature I've been looking for, my media PC that I have now is pretty good, just doesn't have that one thing.

  • Pencils are problematic in space and NASA didn't spend millions developing it

    Sorry had to "ahem actually" your joke :p

  • Hiring is broken

    Jump

  • Hell even without that hiring is really really hard. Im the IT manager for my company and I'm looking to hire for some level 1 help desk type positions. They don't need to be super experienced, but they do need to know things like "what is group policy" or "how would you troubleshoot this hypothetical issue". Basically they should be able to pass the Comptia A+ test, even if they dont actually have it.

    My God I got over 600 applications within a business week! The vast majority of those applicants were from people with no experience, lots of experience in a different field!

    Like I was getting these applicants from people who have 15 years of plumbing or machining experience. Or people who clearly haven't been able to hold down a job (if you bounce from minimum wage job to minimum wage job every other month, that's a bad look). Or on the other end of the spectrum, I was getting people with decades of sysadmin experience applying too.

    I had to start having HR filter the top and bottom out of the stack so I could actually see useful data.

  • Android Self hosting

    Jump

  • I've been talking about this for years! I got the idea from razer but I'm imagining the laptop chassis adds a nice screen, enormous battery, better IO, and then it just uses the touch screen as the track pad.

    It could be so cool

  • Android Self hosting

    Jump

  • Can you tell me more about these homemade android TV boxes? I built a really shitty front end to "turn" my Linux based mini PCs into a media streamer but it lacks things like Chromecast and reliability haha

  • Self-hosting minecraft

    Jump

  • I mean the common thing I see in this thread is just people recommending a docker container that hosts the server. Not really what I would call "3rd party bullshit" and I would absolutely recommend running a game server in a docker container. It makes a lot of things easier.

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

    Jump

  • $1000/month? Really?

    Google Docs (and their online office programs) aren't even the only valid option anymore. I mean even Office is only $6/month if you only want the web version, or $12.50/month if you want desktop apps.

  • someone will scrap NASAs current human space flight plans to promote their own plan, which in itself will be scrapped when a new administration comes in

    Kinda like how each administration switches if we are going to Mars or the Moon next based purely on what the previous guy said haha

  • Talent [Three Panel Soul]

    Jump

  • I was a pretty high level athlete (in swimming so not a pro, but did compete at an international level) and I can back this up too.

    "Natural Talent" is a thing. But that only really applies to the very very top end of the spectrum. Like professional athletes absolutely have genetic advantages over a normal human. But you can get 98% of the way there through just pure determination, grit, and practice.

    I imagine it's not quite the same for music, but unless you're trying to become a billboard level musician or someone who travels around putting on shows, you can absolutely become "good enough" just from (in this case) 12 years of dedicated practice.

  • Australian man survives 100 days with artificial heart in world-first success

    Jump

  • Because I read the article I actually know the answer! It's the first time this technology has been used in a human, and it's been a huge success so far. Quote from the article

    The BiVACOR total artificial heart, invented by Queensland-born Dr Daniel Timms, is the world’s first implantable rotary blood pump that can act as a complete replacement for a human heart, using magnetic levitation technology to replicate the natural blood flow of a healthy heart.

  • Israeli student arrested for Nazi salute at Auschwitz during school trip

    Jump

  • Yeah I considered community service too, and I think it would be a fair alternative.

    When I was young and dumb I got caught spraying some graffiti and got like 50 or 60 hours of community service. Which would equal like $6-8/hr, and I think that's a pretty even trade.

  • I guess it depends on what you define as "basic SQL". Because most people are already used to working with desktop apps, and familiar with the office programs specifically.

    You'd essentially have to teach them programming. Its like when people say "terminal is better than GUI" (it's me, I say that) but then you forget about all of the people who don't know the difference between a desktop and a modem

  • 2 out of the 3 DSN locations aren't even in the US or managed by NASA.

    • NASA manages the Goldstone complex in California
    • The Madrid complex is in Spain and managed by their national space agency
    • The Canberra complex is in Australia and managed by their national space agency

    Also, fun fact, the Canberra complex has the only antenna that can communicate with Voyager 2!

  • To be fair I think Excel is faster to get a novice up to speed than teaching them to program

  • Yeah the kid got like a $400 fine and told not to do that again. I think that's a fair punishment for doing something really really stupid as a teenager.
