I love the snarky "Might appear somewhat familiar" but I'm wondering if SpaceX has a leak or is this just an example of "great artists steal".

Cutting the article's title at "To" is a weird choice but worse yet, the other part of the title has crucial information. This article is definitely interesting and is about attempting to develop a hybrid classical/quan

This probably falls under the category of "common knowledge" but: 1) Install a NodeJS version manager such as nvm. 2) The NodeJS ecosystem is a polluter that would qualify as and EPA super-fund site. Don't install anything u

The goalof reaching the ISS on a European space craft is interesting - the ISS is expected to last at most ten more years and the chance of a brand new government program being finished by that deadline is remote. It may be a worthwhile en

There are still a ton of remote jobs available - our company has permanently switched to remote/hybrid positions for the entire development staff. I haven't been reading the "Who is hiring" HN threads the last few month

That model of iPhone was created prior to the water-resistant versions so you really should avoid getting it wet as shown in the video.

If you like and understand physics, try adding an EE minor or applying your CS skills to robotics. Both these career paths are physics-adjacent (electrodynamics and mechanics respectively) and might allow you to have a passion for the soft

I'm in the process of leaving Google ... I'd love desktop and mobile clients that work with my email servers via IMAP and SMTP.

Ethanol is not a terribly good fuel and causes lots of problems in engines which have seals that weren't designed for it. Engines are also prone to knocking as the energy profile of (enhanced) fuels is different.

Thanks for serving ... the rank and file of the military is truly dedicated in my experience and it would be great if a larger portion of the funding was spent on the human side of defense and if a larger portion of the decision making was

I don't believe that peaceful protests EVER automatically cease to be peaceful due to economic impacts - if a peaceful protest becomes more effective due to be expensive, that's one good way to get and keep attention. Using the t

As a taxpayer, paying DoD prices for a military program also doesn't make sense (aside from the question of whether we even need most military programs).

This is so true ... the amount of pork that's got to be bought just to get the (too small) NASA budget approved is horrendous. I'd argue that the "useful" funding for space programs is a few percent of what's spent

In the United States Gymnastics Association, "Elite" is a classification - in the old days it meant you were probably going to get a college scholarship, you'd be asked to invitational meets and might try out for the Olympic

Wow ... everyone knows that the Doctorow effect is stronger than the Streisand effect. That even fools know better which is a good indication of where Pixsy's organizational intelligence lies.

I've grown avocados and it's a very similar process - the leaves of avocados also start dark and get lighter. Curiously, I had a fairly large inside plant that I set out during nice weather and it got "sunburned".

I never thought of Pat Sajak as a comedian but it's nice to see a celebrity that understands the privilege and, at the same time, frivolity of their position. The streak of grand prize wins isn't surprising but the selected Pat S

Java/JVM and C#/.NET are still huge parts of the enterprise. Take a look at Fortune 500 companies and you'll get a very different picture of the popularity of various language versus the median salaries paid to those using t

We've got four X1 Carbon's in our house - the oldest is a gen2 and the latest is a gen 9. They're all amazing but share the design quirk changes noted in by the OP. My biggest issue remains that the keyboard layouts are sli
