gravitas_deficiency, do astronomy w White House may seek to slash NASA’s science budget by 50 percent

Wow, the government agency with literally the best long term ROI by an order of magnitude is getting its budget cut. Cool cool cool.

derzeppo,

Well the IRS is about the same at $7 revenue per $1 spent, but yeah.

cocolowlander, do esa w When Europe needed it most, the Ariane 6 rocket finally delivered

Arianespace hasn’t publicly disclosed the cost for an Ariane 6 launch, although it’s likely somewhere in the range of 80 million to 100 million euros, about 40 percent lower than the cost of an Ariane 5. This is about 50 percent more than SpaceX’s list price for a dedicated Falcon 9 launch.

With more launch, the price per rocket should decrease, but making it cost competitive will be an important mission if EU wants to launch hundreds of satellites in the future.

threelonmusketeers,

With more launch, the price per rocket should decrease

Should it? Are you referring to amortizing the costs of development, or optimizing the production cost of each rocket? No portion of Ariane 6 is reusable, so it’s not like they can get more launches out of each rocket…

cocolowlander,

Are you referring to amortizing the costs of development

Yes, I was thinking more amortizing the costs of development which will definitely get cheaper the more launch happening, but I guess it’s also possible for optimization of production, although I’m not expecting much from that.

MajorHavoc, (edited ) do games w “Literally just a copy”—hit iOS game accused of unauthorized HTML5 code theft

Misleading title -looks like all assets, functionality, and code were stolen, not just some HTML.

20,000 downloads at $3

The ripoff artist made $42,0000.00. Apple made $18,000.00.

The original creator made ~$2,000.00, after TikTok comments pointed people to the original.

And

“Apple encourages the parties to a dispute to work directly with one another to resolve the claim.”

Apple facilitated theft, and owes this developer $60,000.00 if they lose in court. But they know they don’t have to lose in court, because they can spend $6,000,000.00 or more on lawyers, forever, to set a precedent to discourage others from suing.

    en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ariane

    If your day is just starting, maybe you need a coffee. There’s a distinct difference between Aryan (or Aryen in French) and Ariane (or Ariane in French).

    Different words in different languages sounding the same is a wild launch to a crusade in 2025. Wait until you hear about Ariana Grande… the most Grand of all the Aryans. I know the additional letters won’t fool you.

    Lots of great money to be made in theft, apparently.

    Buzztiger, do esa w When Europe needed it most, the Ariane 6 rocket finally delivered

    So glad to see that Arianespace is back in business. At least now it is also abundantly clear that Europe needs its own and sovereign access to space.

    I was so pumped the first ariane 6 launch, I grew up with watching ariane 4 launches and had a huge revell model kit in my room.

    It's horrible of you to post this when it's not out yet, now I have to wait to buy it. D:<

    (Comments on the article mention that Zach said in an unofficial Discord that they're looking at releasing this summer but nothing concrete.)

    Wtf

    New Zachtronixs game dropping wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card

    overload, (edited )

    I’ve not heard of Zachtronics, but love puzzle games. Do you have a recommended one of theirs?

    Edit: thanks everyone!

    FooBarrington,

    All of them are pretty great! I’ve played a bunch of Shenzhen/IO, and it taught me a lot about low-level programming.

    BuboScandiacus,
    @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

    Depends on what you like, I suggest that you check them out yourself

    I'd say Opus Magnum is the best entry point for beginners, no programming knowledge needed.

    Emerica,

    Can’t really go wrong with any of their games but Infinifactory and EXAPUNKS are my favs.

    gonzo-rand19,

    EXAPUNKS and Last Call BBS have the most flavour IMO. TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O are also very good.

    Honestly, all of them are worth trying so that you can see which ones are for you. They're all pretty different (with a couple of exceptions), especially MOLEK-SYNTEZ.

    Emerica, do games w Kaizen: A Factory Story makes a game of perfecting 1980s Japanese manufacturing

    Zachtronics is back!! Was bummed when they said they weren’t making anymore games, guess they just changed names.

    They made some of the best programming games out there for anyone that hasn’t heard of them.

    Sylvartas,

    Oh shit you’re right, that is great news !

    jeeva,

    I am amused to report that this is a legally distinct definitely-not-Zachtronics company that just happens to have two guys (including Zach) from Zachtronics in.

    … But yeah, they’re back, whoo!

    Na Pegasusa aktualizacja nie ma za dużego wpływu - jadą na 0-dayach konsekwentnie. Bardziej pomagać ma… regularne restartowanie telefonu. Większość tych hacków nie utrzymuje się przez restart.

    I'm glad we have the word "enshittification" because otherwise it'd be difficult to explain what they've done to Twitch.

    thingsiplay, do gaming w Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history

    If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.

    Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

    nahostdeutschland,

    They could also give the option to pay for this. They should know what storing a video costs and therefore could give creators the chance to cover that cost.

    deegeese,

    A lot more work to introduce a new product than to turn on a TTL in a DB.

    Is there really enough demand (potential revenue) to justify the effort?

    For many reasons twitch is a bad platform and I hope this encourages people to platforms where they actually have control like peertube.
