Is this the datetime format they use onboard on the ISS or why is it being used in this webui?
This is the first time I come across this particular format, but also never near space-stuff so wouldn't surprise me if they use some specific format for some specific purpose.
Yes, using Day of Year for time GUIs and measurements is pretty common in spacecraft operations. Generally easier to do/plan operations for things like "we need to perform this maintenance activity every 5 days"
In our application we disallow generated command lines for selection and provide a safe "copy command" icon. As my u see a visual correct command (for a browser view) the resulting select + copy don't include f.e. whitespaces.
It's an command builder where you can drag and drop arguments too - overall user selection don't make sense for this purpose - at least not in our case.
Thank you. I use the sorting-algorithms visualization and it is usually a great hook for getting students to grok the rest of the content. It'll be great to have more resources.
Thank you. When I was in college (many decades ago) I just though insertion sorting was it. Then bubble sorts. I did not expect the mental flip I did when we starting researching quick sorts. That changed my perspective on obvious but incorrect assumptions forever.
These visualizers I think can get you there even faster. I just love this stuff.
I found out that my usual way of sorting cards as a kid was a variant of quicksort.
This is to sort the cards first into black v. red, then the black cards into spades v. clubs, then the spades into high v. low, then finally sort the low ones by inspection (a kind of insertion sort I guess), sort the high ones by inspection, sort the clubs similarly, etc.
Like most quicksorts, this definitely uses O(log(n)) space as you have a deck of reds, a deck of clubs, and a deck of high spades while you're handling the low spades...
I agree with you. Writing a custom firmware on the device is on the same risk level as desoldering the chip. In both cases it would be a smart option to test this approaches on a different device first.
The difference is that one of those options is nearly completely reproducible, the other requires humans to deconstruct a device which introduces more chances for things to go wrong.
