@Everyone just go ahead and post a question! Astronomy SE is the standard place for questions about seeing things in the sky and needing help identifying them. You have to add some details though, date, time, approximate location on Earth, brightness (visible by eye, or binoculars, or telescope) color if any, position in the sky (azimuth and elevation above the horizon) etc.

Just fyi geostationary satellites will appear fixed, but they are pretty dim and are not generally visible without at least a small telescope.

Incremental Static Regeneration: Building static sites a little at a time

Cassidy Williams on May 17, 2021

There are a lot of opinions out there about how to improve and scale sites “beyond the Jamstack” by adding in features that use a Node server in addition to the pre-built pages. One of those features is called Incremental Static Regeneration. Some people call it “hybrid web development” (or “hybrid serverless + static”) but let’s talk a bit more about what that means.

@geoffc Okay. Such big buildings require big cranes. There is some liebherr 11000 crane being built on. Here: youtube.com/watch?v=oSyC8pxJdeQ I read, building such a big crane is at least 1 month of time

@geoffc It is because big cranes need a concrete base, and concrete requires a month to reach its full strength. Count with, for example, about 6 weeks: when started that liebherr 11k built?

@Everyone Yes, but afaik a geosync satellites are too far away to be visible with free eye. LEO satellites are on some hundred km height, GEOs are at 36000km. And even LEO sats are only rarely visible.
