  1. TIL: Es gibt keinen Knall beim Durchbrechen der #Schallmauer.

    Wenn man über der Schallgeschwindigkeit fliegt, erzeugt man durch die Schockwelle am Bug an jeder Stelle "unter" sich einen Knall, der sich "mitbewegt". Ähnlich der sich mitbewegenden Wasserwelle am Ufer, wenn ein schnelleres Boot fährt.

    Das ist also kein einmaliges Ding bei einer Geschwindigkeitsgrenze sondern eine ständige Begleiterscheinung, solange man über #Mach1 unterwegs bleibt.

  3. Weekly output: Boom Supersonic’s XB-1, Comcast low latency, painstaking passkey progress

    This has been a strange, sad and shocking week in the nation’s capital–first the mid-air collision outside National Airport Wednesday that left 67 people dead and ended a nearly 16-year streak without fatal crashes by U.S. airlines, then Elon Musk’s attempts to stage what I have to call a digital coup at the Treasury Department and the Agency for International Development.

    Patreon readers got an extra post this week: my annual breakdown of last year’s income according to the business models of my freelance clients.

    1/28/2025: Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 Testbed Plane Breaks the Sound Barrier, PCMag

    Having Boom bump this test flight from Monday to Tuesday gave me a little extra time to check two descriptions of the XB-1: “independently developed” (Boom did this without government dollars or direction, unlike the Northrop F-20 fighter that was built with private money but was based on the earlier, taxpayer-funded F-5, and which that company developed at the request of the Pentagon) and “exceed Mach 1” (XB-1 sustained that achievement in level flight, unlike the Bombardier business-jet prototype that cracked the sound barrier in shallow dives in 2021).

    1/29/2025: Comcast Upgrade Promises Ultra-Low Lag Xfinity Internet for Video Calls, VR, Games, PCMag

    Comcast’s announcement of this new feature was shockingly short on details, but a company publicist was willing to answer e-mail after e-mail as I realized the data points I needed to write this post.

    2/1/2025: The Passkey Future Is Here, But Some Companies Still Make It Too Complicated, PCMag

    A year after I interviewed FIDO Alliance CEO Andrew Shikiar at a conference in D.C. about identity and authentication, I sat down with him at the 2025 version of this conference to discuss what the industry had and had not accomplished since January.
