ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

I really believed a whole generation of developers, who only know open source from npm and pypi, miss how open source actually used to work.

When Debian or a Linux distribution ships a dependency they take responsibility of it. If there is a security issue and it’s not fixed by the developer upstream, they fix it for their users.

Debian and others basically vendor every thing they distribute. They honor the license and they maintain patches. Most of the stuff that you get from your Linux distribution is basically a (small) fork.

The same is true for Apple, Microsoft and others. The open source software they ship, they carry that responsibility.

That doesn’t mean that security fixes are not upstreamed, but Apple or Debian or anyone else won’t jump in Twitter to shame a developer into compliance with their ways. They are not dependent on the health of a packaging infrastructure. They own their software including all the things it depends on.

I want that thinking back. Because it fundamentally makes people feel more responsibility and it shares the burden of issues. It also does not put so much focus and attention on the one overworked developer who just happened to have too much of the world depend on their library. Remember: they carry a responsibility they never signed up to and they never got compensated for.

@BecomingCritter Regardless of whether the AI Fad goes away or not, I read somewhere that supply would likely catch up in mid/late 2027 and thus prices would be either cheaper or even more cheap again.

Over my career I've seen a _lot_ of attempted complete rewrites of existing software, and two things have stuck out to me:
- The overwhelming majority of rewrites failed
- Of the small minority I saw succeed, almost 100% were done by the same team who wrote the original software.

The Go team has done an AMAZING job over the past 4 years setting priorities. There are more #golang jobs today than ever before, including in the enterprise.

No lang is perfect, but Go has been consistent, stable, and governed as well as any lang can be.

The team has always put in the time to understand the ramifications of their decisions. They have learned over time how to listen and interact with the community.

How many of us could learn from them about taking the time needed to introduce change?

I appreciate every single person who has contributed to Go. Thank you for everything and the thankless work you do to make sure I have a lang I can use every day to solve all the problems I am facing.

It has made a difference on this planet!

There are many better CLIs on GitHub made with this intent.

Hallo,

baler converts your source code directory to less files so you can work with Claude on projects better.

@simon_sat Ah, thanks a lot for explaining!

[Shivashis Padhi @plant99_]

@simon_sat @simon_sat interesting , just curious what exactly is this 'being pushed around' for a satellite?

Is it the radio inference, do computers work extra hard to identify and isolate ground commands and the emitted data?

They might also struggle with inaccurate GPS data.
