Why are they abandoning the Zumwalt class? Due to cost/delays?

The performance of Google apps in Firefox (and any non-Chrome browser) have always been sluggish. But since I updated to Quantum its been much smoother for me. Also don't think the mobile (iOS/Android) versions of Firefox have see

Do you have performance/memory comparisons from using flatbuffer vs protobuf in TF? A quick writeup with how switching effected performance would be really interesting :)

Looks nice and could be useful! But I can't even look at what your title says without being forced to sign up.

Works for me on Firefox (on Ubuntu) with a jpg. I tried uploading a favicon.ico file and ran into the same issue.

I was torn between the T470 series and the X1 a few weeks back. I ended up getting the X1 and have been liking it so far. Got it with 16 GB RAM and the upgraded screen. Personally the screen was enough for me to chose the X1 over the T4xx s

Looks like they're using Automotive Grade Linux ( https://www.automotivelinux.org/ ) and from their Members page looks like a lot of car manufacturers are supporting it. AGL looks interesting, specially since Raspberry P

That's awesome! Can I shoot you an email for more information? I'm doing some research where we're trying to improve flight time with IMUs (GPS-denied environments) and AirSim looks like a great environment for us to get more

Awesome work! Wondering if it is possible to get data (telemetry, IMU, etc) from a drone during simulation? And is it possible to have multiple drones in the simulation?

TLDR: They're two different agencies that have different cabailities and responsibilities. Other than logistics cost NASA's rockets have much higher payloads (think 100 tons vs 10 tons), number of rockets available, number of sate

ISRO salaries are extremely low compared to NASA's (or any engineer in the US). Indian government positions do offer more "benefits" but it still does not add up to nearly half of what an average NASA engineer's salary.

I did the same thing for the October thread and had a much better response rate for real emails versus applications/jobs@company. I ended applying to about 25, 15 direct emails, 5 HR emails (jobs@company), and 5 applications. Only abou

That's interesting. Do you think its due to location, salary, or technical merit?

by om42 10y ago
The way I approach the postings is I look for companies and positions I would be really interested in. Even if I don't meet the requirements, e.g. they want a senior engineer (I'll be a new grad), I'll apply anyways. The wors

Looks like it is getting hammered with HN traffic and they posted their iOS app on Product Hunt yesterday too. Their iOS app eventually comes around to working (crashes sometimes when trying to listen to music) -- but they just released it

They talked about it earlier during the live stream. Looked like a unique experience from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" where you're a wizard.

I saw waves! Looks interesting. Wonder if there's a way to pull other datasets (top 1,000 + votes from Reddit) and see how introducing that plays into the overall ranking since you need more users right now. If you could manage to stri

Neat idea! I've been using it for the past few weeks and really excited to see the community grow. Recently talked to Laser (founder) about the direction he's taking it. Looking forward to Websee becoming more community based and

I was talking to a friend about this. Why does California not have a better public transportation system build? Especially in the Bay Area? I know cities like LA were designed for cars but I've gotten used to public transportation in t

That's over 2 hours of commuting each day, assuming everything is on time. Do they use the 2 hours (mostly on the commuter rail) to get work done? Could be interesting to see the trade off between 2 hours in a train versus 1 hour drivi

Seems to be a npm module called npm2debian for converting npm modules to debs. Never used it myself though. Source: https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm2debian

Used Sikuli for automating systems testing a few years ago (last I heard they stopped working on it). We had to use a VNC because it was affecting system performance. Overall really good and glad SikuliX was able to continue development of

I don't really do much CAD but have lots of friends who do. Wouldn't you end up needing a keyboard and a mouse to be productive CADing on the tablet? Which would defeat the form factor of the tablet. There does seem to be a market

It does make sense though. The majority of people have driven a car and can relate to the hassles. Especially with drunk driving. Eliminating drunk driving is in everyone's best interest and hard to argue. Plus who would fight against
