Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I’m aware, so it’s not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.

Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)

That’s always been true of city warfare though. Tanks are not designed for that.

Wait, really?

So you need a visa to transit through the US?

It depends who you are trying to hide from. A VPN will hide your internet traffic from your ISP/phone company, but obviously not from the site you are visiting.

At best you might be one of may people connecting from the same (VPN) IP address, but they can still collect info from your browser/app etc to generate points to ID you if they want.

Is there an alternative app that offers a centralised account service but with user hosted servers?

Their problem is probably that they actually took too long to monetise it.

Before Discord, groups were often paying for hosted team speak, ventrilo or mumble servers. Then along came discord with it’s VC money and did what they did and more for free. Now most people probably are not willing to pay for what used to be a paid service.

Is only mildly annoying. Lots of people asking where the bins though.

I can see a lot of paper cups being left in tables etc

They should give me tea in a mug instead of a waxed paper cup (and plastic lid!) then!

This is right by the cafe/site office/car park though. The reception desk is about 20m to the left and staffed during daylight hours year round.

Not like it’s in the middle of nowhere.

I get your point, there are very few bins elsewhere (mostly by the other car parks) and that’s fine. It’s just that the place that gives you rubbish makes it hard to responsibly get rid of it.

I think it’s a pretty good description. Has a tarmac car park, cafe, bike hire, 3 go ape routes, wheelchair accessible routes and until recently, bins!

I think the site office has a post box

No racoons here. The previous bins had spring loaded flaps to keep the animals out.

They had some reasonably nice bins with wooden shells around them and spring loaded doors to keep the birds etc out.

You can hear to some level, the boats and actions in the vicinity of the cable. So it might provide evidence in case of a break.

It also lets you know if the cable is moving round on the seabed etc, this is useful as it can cause wear.

I seem to remember it being used to check the health of power cables too (they have fibre cables embedded within them)

Technically, the UK has 2 train tunnel size boarders with France. (And a service tunnel?)

Things fall into the thicker parts of the atmosphere because drag from the tiny amounts of air up there. if that is shrinking, then you can get lower before you have the same amount of drag? Therefore lower orbits might be more feasible?

Lower orbit means faster though, so it may not be linear? Would be interesting to see (someone else do) the maths.

Doesn’t that just mean that lower orbits can be used? Less air resistance?

This happened not far off the coast. Looks like the oil tanker was at anchor waiting, while the cargo ship ploughed into it.

Oil tankers are not exactly the most nimble of ships, even if it tried to get out of the way.

Then you are using it for music and pay the full rate.
