I used to work on person portable mass spectrometers. The biggest innovation hurdle is pulling vacuum in the MS manifold (for quadrupole mass spectrometers, at least). Nifty that they're given that for free in space, roughly.

I love rebase. It allows for a Draft PR workflow where you can have your WIP out in the open for a big project, and then clean it all up via rebasing right before asking for reviews. Just don't rewrite history on master. :^)

A bill that could raise gas prices as a tertiary outcome and push people towards green energy (read: tech) is pretty relevant to the people that'd be browsing hackernews IMO.

I'd be interested to see the man-hours-needed : people-helped ratio when it comes to user accessibility. There's certainly a threshold where it simply doesn't make sense to put in a man year's worth of work to cater to a

What's it like using C++ for something like an afib detector? I imagine you can't use much of the STL, _or_ you toss in your own custom allocators to everything.

Anecdote: I had an old co-worker who was given 6 month's notice that he'd be let go from a previous job, and his manager at the time helped him look for a new gig + gave him shining reviews and references. After the 6 month period
