Try giving up eating all animal products. Good luck not losing weight then. Big weight loss has been an unintended side effect for everyone I know who's gone whole food plant based.

There is another thread on HN right now regarding working at Amazon. There is a poor soul who is literally suicidal because he can't get into tier 1 tech companies, only tier two like Amazon where he only earns $150k. I have also trave

And many of them died in the war. After IMHO the most extreme adventure a bunch of men have ever undertaken, where not a single man died. This book [0] is one of the most astonishing I have ever read. Anyone reading this grab a copy, you wo

Im bitterly disappointed that greenhouse gas emissions from livestock rarely enter conversation with people who care about climate change, so this is nice to hear it being discussed. Even better something which helps. Im curious however if

We create external camera pods for aircraft, which themselves can't fly. So we name them after flightless birds. Tomorrow I'll be flying 'Takahe': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Island_takah%C4%

I see that, but one type of really good dev is one who is super focused on the small details, and it seems to be human nature that it's hard to do that well and keep the big picture in your head at the same time. I think these guys are

FTA: "Programmers are most effective when they avoid writing code." I'll take an average coder who only codes what is needed over a brilliant one who is constantly going down rabbit holes unnecessarily.

This is strange... I posted here a theory on how this might work and the post has dissapeared completely while showing zero points in my comments page. Just a single downvote wouldnt make it not show, correct? Does HN censor potential secur

I thought the iphone has a delay after a few attempts at the secure enclave level? I wonder if this is doing some sort of timing or voltage related validation of the code without needing to actually submit it. Ie the equivalent of 1234,back

In the introduction paper [1], there is no mention of handling of raw images which haven't been turned into RGB. I.e. it assumes an RGB image, not a colour filter array (Bayer) image. This is odd because the use case for this is sendin

I watched for the some reason but instead of squirm he confidently answered some very poorly worded questions. The only take away for me is that these senators are not even close to being capable of engaging MZ properly in debate.

I'm surrounded by fancy machines but the X220 just keeps on finding an excuse to be used. I would say I use it more than any other machine. The thing has a soul. I love it. I took > 20,000 photos today from a cessna using it's

Used to play NannyMUD in 1993 and I just logged in! Via telnet, it's still online 25 years later! My username since then (inc here) is named after the brand of terminal I used to log into that MUD a quarter century ago.

You lose almost no light. You are changing the area of the sensor the part of the scene is spread over. Its a triviality as a result of us expressing the F number as the ratio of the focal length and the aperture size. The effective SNR of

People often forget that 2x increase in one dimension equates to a 4x increase in area and number of pixels. I didn't expect that of this community though, which is how I'm interpreting the down voting here. This is my profession

A good quality 2x teleconverter will make your sensor the equivalent of 80mp in this context. Ie with the same lens, a 20mp camera with 2x teleconverter will resolve more detail than a 50mp sensor.

~1m range errors in the pseudorange from just the satellites which are on the other side of this hole, is a relatively small error, and certainly within or close to normal ionosphere and troposphere fluctuation impact on GNSS performance. T
