The “paper” that OP is referring to is the one they posted a few levels up. It links to a researchgate paper that I believe is associated with the article. Just from a quick look at the paper, which is only 3 pages, they are talking about the design the aircraft uses to mitigate the negative effects that occur at hypersonic speeds. They refer to the Waverider design and modified it by including a High-Pressure Capturing Wing to improve lift. Waveriders are designed to conform to the shockwaves the vehicle produces at hypersonic speeds to reduce the drag from those shockwaves. When designing high speed aircraft you have to design around the shockwaves it will produce. This enhancement seems to improve the lift the vehicle creates at those speeds.

Also you aren’t getting everything right in your arguments. Earlier you stated that scramjets are fighting Newton’s 3rd law which states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. You do understand that all air-breathing engines slows the air down before it gets to the engine. This is usually done during a compression cycle to increase the pressure and density of the air. Turbojet and Turbofan engines do this using compression fans, Ramjets uses a normal shockwave, and scramjets uses a series of oblique shockwaves called a “shock train”. The difference between a scramjet and the other engines is the airflow is subsonic in Turbojet, Turbofan, Ramjet, etc while the air enters the engine at supersonic speeds for scramjets. That’s why its called a SCRamjet, Supersonic Combustion Ramjet. But like OP said the paper doesn’t mention what type of engine was used, only that it was a hypersonic vehicle so it could be a rocket.

How do I understand this? I actually have a degree in aerospace engineering, I’ve worked on scramjets (X-51) for the USAF, and I designed engines for GE Aviation. Your arguments are all wrong.

The X-15 was a rocket propelled aircraft. This is an air breathing aircraft.

I’ve read that GitLab is experimenting with the concept.

There’s also Rocket.Chat

I guess you’ll have to accept your fate.

I would love a FOSS version of Rhino3D.

I can and do donate to the Lemmy project. I should also donate to the instances I use. I’ll donate for you as well, I don’t even need Netflix.

I prefer an MP3 player over my phone. Here is the one I use. Why I like this one:

• Dedicated device designed for music.
• Hardware designed to play high quality music. (Think using Ubuntu vs Ubuntu Studio for music production)
• Dedicated buttons instead of all touch screen.
• More options for integration with other devices or systems
• No distractions. Phones nowadays demand our attention for every little thing. Every app, no matter what it is, has notifications.
• The Bluetooth is better.
• You can literally hear the difference in the quality of the music if you use good quality headphones/ear buds. The same song, same file, will not sound the same if it’s a good quality FLAC.

I look forward to all the complaints on how linux isn’t like windows. :)

I would really like Mozilla to make the best browser in the world please.

They would be more likely to stop the accident from happening if they were there as opposed to not being there.

It would be great is LibreOffice Calc had more data analysis features.

If you could recreate the crashes and get those steps into a bug report that would be great for the developers.

I go back to Reddit (Adblock enabled) only to see new posts from my favorite lewd cosplayers because I’m too cheap for OnlyFans.

People who write documentation, tutorials, and offer help to newbies are also important. We as a community really need to highlight that you don’t need to be a coder to contribute to open source. We should set examples how sharing of knowledge is just as important.

Posting for it is still easier than learning how to pirate and dodging lawsuits.

Yeah I just learned that mine is lost too. Annoying…

Microsoft themselves would have to Kickstart this migration. They would have to become hostile to developers, which they won’t do because that’s just stupid, or get rid of free tier and raise prices. Until the unimaginable happens the only thing the alternatives can do is improve their product or offer a niche experience.
