All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

I think this generalization is far from valid

• You’re assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
• South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
• Starlink doesn’t have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

This is assuming it’s not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there’s a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts

I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

I think a lot of devs can relate to that

The funniest part is that Bezos got sued into paying Musk by his own shareholders

Let’s spell that out: Bezos is paying Musk to launch his satellites

Why?

Other examples?

Tbf forks should be separated in the repo view on GitHub from repos you’ve created

Who cares if the program has done its job anyway

Focusing beyond the code - as a developer you will code 20% of your time.

Doesn’t sound like a great software engineer to me

In my company everyone is called Software Development Engineer 🤷‍♂️

Are you drunk? This is posted by SpaceX official account

If you can do it in 2-3 months it’s worth it, else you’re probably not getting paid enough

Basically, they won’t bother sueing you unless you end up making millions off it

But at that point the program will likely not even be reminiscent of its original form

Yeah, I saw it. I guess my mistake was thinking they would have to transport it back somewhere to make the replacement

Guess who is no longer part of the EEA and will not receive these benefits? The UK

Pretty unlikely that they could fix it in a day if it required destack

started up notepad, which was the only application it was capable of running

Coding a linked list in C in Notepad and only one syntax error? This guy’s worth the money!

Outdid themselves on this one. Very inspiring

Even less so now that docstrings can be mostly written by AI
