New comment by lorenzohess in "U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Bay Model"

lorenzohess — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 12:53:53 +0000

If I recall correctly, at an undistorted scale, the water would be so shallow that surface tension and viscosity would dominate, so the depths are exaggerated to keep the flow realistic.

More specifically, tidal flow obeys Froude similarity, not Reynolds. Matching the model's Froude number to the real Bay's requires enough depth for gravity waves and tides to scale correctly, which the vertical exaggeration provides.

But the distortion makes the flow too efficient, so copper strips are added throughout to achieve the right frictional resistance.

Why did one developer have access, even if read-only, to more than 3,800 internal repos?

The stress tests they'll perform are really interesting:

1) Starship will deploy "two modified satellites... [to] transmit imagery [of the heat shield] down to operators... Several tiles on Starship have been painted white to simulate missing tiles and serve as imaging targets in the test."

2) Relighting a Raptor engine

3) "For Starship entry, a single heat shield tile has been intentionally removed to measure the aerodynamic load differences on adjacent tiles when there is a tile missing"

4) Banking maneuver and rear flap structural test

> A self-complementary graph is a graph which is isomorphic to its graph complement.

i.e., if you add edges between nodes which aren't connected, and remove edges which are already there, you get back the graph you started with.

New comment by lorenzohess in "Mullvad exit IPs are surprisingly identifying"

lorenzohess — Fri, 15 May 2026 03:44:31 +0000

The purpose of a VPN does not include anonymizing users with respect to the sites they visit,so it shouldn't be too surprising that Mullvad doesn't enforce unique exit IPs. Users who want anonymity should use networks like Tor.

Based on my experience with the System 76 Lemur Pro coming from a Macbook Pro, matte helps a bit. You won't have mirror glare like on the Macbook, but the sun will still wash out the matte screen.

The user plausibly isn't asking others to tell him what he "likes" -- a subjective preference -- but rather the user could be asking for objective research and information.

I'm really curious what type of people find a practical use case for this? Graphic designers?
