   I didn't consider it. With the first issue I think it would be very difficult to write an article that ties everything together as the topics are so different. I chose this approach because then everyone can hopefully find something fo

   Hi HN! Couple of months ago I was reaching out to you (from a throwaway account) for advice on avoiding burnout and deciding whether or not I should work for myself. Thanks to you last week I came up with this idea that I'm planning to

   I don't know the process of laser ablation. How would you use it in the context of this mission?

   Surprised to see this posted here! As a student I had a chance to take part in e-deorbit symposium in 2014. Back then they were considering 3 methods for capturing satellites: a net, robotic arm and a harpoon of sorts. What struck me the mo

   I know my question was very broad. It's hard to pin point to what I'm exactly looking for. The best way I can describe it is "fighting my own ignorance". I realized I know very little about the world and decided it&#x27

   Can anyone recommend some book about Africa? I would like to gain some insights about life there, ideally fact based, maybe some history? Doesn't need to be the whole continent as well, would love to start with any particular country.

   The Novint Falcon that I linked came with a demo program in which you could 'touch' spheres made of different kinds of materials (I remember sandpaper, sand, ice, molasses) each one providing different kind of feedback (slipping i

   Are there any projects on integrating haptic devices with 3D sculpting? I think it would be quite cool to use something like Novint Falcon[1] for sculpting. [1] - https://www.vrs.org.uk/images/novint-falcon.jpg

    Only after reading "Let my People go surfing" by Yvon Chouinard I realized the potential scale of this issue. I now think twice before buying clothes and I'm willing to pay extra for better quality that will last me longer. A

    I decided to buy Let My People Go Surfing after someone recommended it on HN. At that point I didn't even know what Patagonia was but after reading this book I can say that it was the most impactful business book I've read. If any

    You are not alone! From what I've seen many people struggle with Kalman filters. If you want to build in depth understanding of them I heard lots of good things about this online book: https://github.com/rlabbe/Kal

    Take more risks - I feel like I've been far too careful with my life choices recently. Spend way more time outdoors, especially in the mountains. Start posting regularly to my blog. Learn a bit of Rust.

    Great points! I think tiny fraction of those points were meant to be solved with (crisischeckin)[ https://github.com/HTBox/crisischeckin ] from HTBox, however it doesn't seem to be in active development right now. I

    I thought Hacker News community might be interested in this event happening at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland on 6-8th of October. The applications are open until 4th of June. Here is a preliminary list of topics (subjected to change): -Age as

    Probably not exactly what op had in mind but I took interest in a humanitarian hackathon organized by a CERN group The Port( http://theport.ch/ ) in Geneva, Switzerland. I'm hoping I can take part in it this year.

    What kind of projects can you help UN with? I've been thinking on donating some of my time and skills for the past month and would be more than happy to help. I'm a robotics engineer but I can also program.

    Not op but I started waking up at 6:00 starting with this year to work on personal projects in the morning for up to an hour. My sleep quality got much better, I'm usually in bed around 23:00, the biggest difference I noticed is that I
