These efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, and this equipment failure led to the crew having to share three working PCDs between the four of them for all of their work for the entire remaining duration of the mission. They were able to make this configuration work, albeit not without complications. Their PCDs were their direct means of tracking their jobs, documenting their work, running checklists, looking up procedures, etc. During the lunar fly-by in particular, while they were doing photography of their various lunar targets, they said that they had to swap out SD cards as they rotated between window duty every so often. Two of them kept their own PCD, and the other two shared one. Houston originally asked that they try to use separate directories with their initials to track their work in case they were sharing SDs.

It's obvious that they were able to make things work, but this issue also complicated their operational logistics, and it's funny that it wasn't reported on at all. If you look up anything related to technical glitches or equipment failures on the Artemis II mission, it's all about Outlook and the toilet. Nothing about the complete failure of the PCD. No reports on this, not even a single blog post I can find.

From there, I include explicit steps for how to test, including manual testing, and unit test/E2E test commands. If it's something visual, I try to include at least a screenshot, or sometimes even a brief screen capture demonstrating the feature.

Really go out of your way to make the reviewer's life easier. One benefit of doing all of this is that in most cases, the reviewer won't need to reach out to ask simple questions. This also helps to enable more asynchronous workflows, or distributed teams in different time zones.

I agree with you that people are much better off using constructive dialogue, and communities like HN are much better off because of moderation, but the idea of some government agency tracking down and fining trolls is to me a laughable suggestion.

Amazing how such a simple mechanism can remain useful even decades later.

I say most because there are finishing methods which can largely obscure these details and make it less obvious as to which method produced a given part.

The lack of spending then further contributes to falling prices, job cuts, businesses closing, etc. It's really not a situation any economy _wants_.

That said, I empathize with your sentiment.
