Yes, that's the short of it. Each pixel needs its own wires, readout, and processing chain, and resources are limited on the spacecraft. The cryostat (instrument that keeps the pixels cold) only has so much cooling capacity and all the wires add thermal load.

Future missions are planned with more pixels (Take a look at the EASA Athena mission and its X-IFU instrument), and to reach that goal they are using multiplexing methods to allow more pixels to run on fewer wires.

A normally very NSFW comic called Oglaf. Brilliantly written, but don't browse at work.

I had this exact thought earlier today. Either curated directories, or a ground-up, vetted search engine that only pulls from pre-screened sources.

Also, since you said What?

Makes more sense with the prior comic.

I'd argue the current punitive system makes it more likely you will be flying "with a pilot who’s suffering from mental health issues" that are hidden instead of treated. The problems exist now, they're just buried and ignored instead of addressed. I also think it's harmful to treat it so black and white, that either a person is "normal" or "mentally ill" with no grades or ability to be treated. Reform is possible, I think, by allowing disclosure and treatment of issues up front while continuing to operate at some level (maybe under supervision), instead of waiting years without being able to work while paying out of pocket for five figures-worth of tests. Even just streamlining the review and approval or denial to weeks instead of months or years would be a start.

I'm not on your instance but support your work all the same. I'm a reddit refugee and the flying communities are what I miss the most. Hoping for continued improvement and momentum!

Thank you for the clarification and your hard work! Like others I prefer compact (strongly), so I've rolled back to 0.6 for now but will check back once it's available in 1.0.

I couldn't find any reference to that either.

Not needed, this is clearly a render, and not of any real device either. It's a pastiche of retro elements in a nonfunctional, stylized arrangement. The "cassette" is a miniature rendering of full-sized reel-to-reel tape. The speakers are more mid-2000s era design language, and the colors are over-exaggerated for the era.

"I cannot find any official reference to this model"

That is because it is a fictional rendering.

Since it's banned I can't see to verify the claim it was "unmoderated". Can anybody confirm or refute? Any recent screenshots would be nice. I'd lean toward this being a convenient excuse they used to get rid of a troublesome voice, but would appreciate context.

Appreciate the piped link!

Missing a link or picture there?

Another small quality-of-life feature that's nice about Lemmy.

You're probably right, I'm just avoiding it for good now. And guessing the mods would remove any questioning posts from r/programming. R/outoftheloop would likely help, but again, I'm done giving them traffic or content.

Replying from Memmy beta, love it, thanks for all your hard work!
