I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.
Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.
I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.
What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!
I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in #Perl. If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.
I've also done commercial #Scala, #Python, #C/#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even #PHP (the longest six months of my life).
Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.
Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.
Drop me a private mention or mail peter@mooli.net if you have or know of something.
Artemis is currently cruising at ~3535 km per h - which is the fastest humans have ever gone outside of a gravity well.
It is 0.0003273% of c - so, the astronauts watches will be ticking slow due to relativity at only 99.99999999946432% of normal, which is roughly 1.689 milliseconds in 10 years (if they were to hold current speed).
Provided I've done the sums right, which I think I have. #space #science
Home #3dprinting is fun. I like making fun things like #ttrpg minis, and useful things, like a spice rack organizer.
I like how they fit into #solarpunk story telling.
But until/unless one can recycle and more importantly, produce filament, it's still a centralized technology based on plastic.
I've only worked with basic PLA, and read a bit about PETG & the differences.
Are there any filament technologies that are recyclable / reusable or that can be produced locally from raw materials?
