It's not tech, but HN has many bog body posts. My brother wants to be buried in a bog, so that he can become a bog body, and be found by archaeologists in a few thousand years. I think it's a great idea and I want to see if anyone

Exactly. It was well understood that animals and plants evolved before Darwin. I have a popular science book from about 1890. It is called “Evolution for the normally intelligent gentleman”. The first thing it does is say that the dispute b

The point is that you are in control of whether you blunder or not. It’s more important to avoid obvious mistakes than to have a good strategy.

You can see where the “library” is used. Often the bit you want to change is only used by your project so you can change it freely. If someone else is using it you know who to talk to about changing it.

The application was written by a team of 20 over 10 years. There are over 3000 database tables. The job it does is big and complicated. It is used by teams all over the world. The problem is the inherent complexity of the business domain. N

The real reason for cloud micro service architecture is legacy code. Imagine you’ve inherited a 10 year old PHP monolith. The code is almost indecipherable and the business wants new features in a timely and predictable manner. The easiest

That study says that you can’t tell whether 12 or 24 month cleanings are better. It does not compare cleaning with never cleaning. It is not evidence that you should never do a dental clean. It does not refute the idea that cleanings are be

Firstly, The signal would diffract around the drone to the antenna on top, so I think you can jam the drone. Secondly it’s probably easier to jam the satellite, because you know exactly where it is. If you’re on the ground near the drone yo

Why is it unjammable? It’s just radio. The satellite adds an extra vulnerability. You can see the satellite from 1000km away. Just build a big directional antenna well outside the war zone. Jamming signals in a war zone is hard because you

My suspicion is that supplements and protein shakes are ultra processed food, full of the same preservatives and emulsifiers that are likely candidates for the increase in cancer.

Lunar escape velocity is still pretty high. 2.4km/s compared to earth’s 11.2km/s. However, there is a gun that can fire projectiles at 8km/s so it’s possible. https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/w

Contractors get hired. I’m a general python contractor. So far all of my clients have been acquired or had layoffs within a year of hiring me. This might be UK specific because of how UK labour laws work.
