As others have mentioned, the propellant for three major upcoming rockets (Blue Origin's New Glenn, ULA's Vulcan, and SpaceX's Starship/Super Heavy) is methane (plus liquid oxygen).

Currently that methane is coming from natural gas, and represents a tiny, tiny fraction of our current natural gas use. If we didn't want to use natural gas, methane can be made from hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This is critical to SpaceX's Mars plan, as they're planning on making their propellant for the return trip once they get there. If you can produce it on Mars, you can definitely produce it on Earth.
So it extracts the metadata and converts the PDF to text and puts that automatically in a BigQuery table (with some custom functions).

I was somehow expecting to have the parser automatically recognize patterns in the PDF and maybe try to name them (and let you rename them), kind of what advanced web scrappers do.
> Wallace's giant bee (Megachile pluto), which can reach four times the size of a honeybee

Something is weird. They head the article with a big image captioned "Wallace's giant bee in comparison with a honeybee"; it shows the honeybee as being much less than a quarter the size of the giant bee.
But if there is nothing to develop for... Chicken and egg problem.

However, I think that Windows on ARM will soon become a real thing, this could bring the developers, it will also help the ARM devices spread among Linux users.

Regarding what Linus wrote, I do not buy it. There is so much stuff can run without cross-compilation: js and other scripts, java, c#. Also look at things like Android and iOS, you are already happily developing for ARM, you can develop for servers with the same approach.

> Some people think that "the cloud" means that the instruction set doesn't matter. Develop at home, deploy in the cloud. That's bullshit. If you develop on x86, then you're going to want to deploy on x86, because you'll be able to run what you test "at home" (and by "at home" I don't mean literally in your home, but in your work environment).

But developers can ssh to the cloud, and develop there, right?
That doesn't prevent SJWs from complaining they get paid less.

Show HN: Codeless API Tests
I disagree with Linus for a couple of reasons. The main one being that not every service in a product needs to be running ARM for it to be useful. There is nothing preventing heterogenous solutions in the cloud and if third parties vet their code on ARM then deploying your DBMS on ARM and your web server on x86 (or whatever services most of your business logic is in) is totally valid for cost or performance reasons.

Secondly, it seems likely that there will be ARM MacBooks by 2020, that kind of instant market penetration for arm in the dev space might mean the exact opposite of what he's saying; why would I deploy on x86 when all of my development is on my ARM machine already?
Bypassing Golang's Lack of Constructors
Partly for that reason (but mainly for the cost) the future of space access isn’t rockets, it’s things like orbital rings, launch loops, active support towers, momentum exchange tethers, etc.

We don’t have them yet because they are expensive investments. It’s like flying NYC-SFO because building a 747 is cheaper than building the I-80 freeway — It seems like a no-brainer now we have Silicon Valley in one and Wall Street in the other, but imagine it from the point of view of Teddy Roosevelt rather than Franklin Roosevelt
I apologize for commenting on it before checking the situation: I retried it now, and it seems the situation has improved a lot from last time I tried. It's still far from a simple `docker-compose up -d` (I had a few issues with TLS because I didn't understand how to generate the key, opted to disable it and reverse proxy it via Apache2+letsencrypt), but it's doable in a relatively short time. All that I have left now is to setup a frontend (ie. Riot).

Footnote:
IMO, the barrier for adoption for this kind of services has to be the lowest possible if it wants to gain any kind of traction. Mastodon and Peertube are good examples of this: docker-compose.yml in the project root, and in < 1 hour I got everything working by just setting a couple configuration values that were already in the environments section.

I figure that there is a lot of work going on right now so this might not be in the top priorities, but I really hope Matrix gets there soon.

Keep up the good work!

For what it's worth, I seem to recall reading that the most effective engineers are not necessarily the ones that (heads down) create the best solutions for some specific challenges, but those that know who is the best person to ask about (or task with) a specific problem. So, the Dude might be contributing quite a bit.
It seems they have used some small honey bee. You can see on the other pics that the size comparison would be alrighty.
I'm right handed, and after experiencing some starting RSI issues, I've switched my workplace mouse to the left. I'm using a cheap upright mouse. At home it's right-handed, with a three-button IBM/Lenovo mouse (no scroll wheel).

Helped my issues a lot, and I haven't experienced a major difference between UI navigation or even light image manipulation between the two setups. Then again, I'm not a twitch gamer or visual artist, so you might call that an "ambisinister" setup.

Only having to move my left arm 10cm at work to get from keyboard to mouse is a nice added benefit, although you'd get the same for a dextrous arrangement if you wouldn't use a full size keyboard.

I would say the overhead of time tracking, as a deliberate productivity tool, is barely worth the trouble. For instance, I use Emacs org-mode, where you can schedule and clock tasks in sophisticated ways. It took a long time to setup and get used to the stuff. I thought it might scale in the future. Turns out that pen and paper is much more efficient and effective for me to get anything done on a daily basis. Now I use it more or less to get reminded for some important dates, and to satisfy the sunk cost fallacy. I would only use it as time tracker again, if forced by my employer.
If I were unemployed, probably. If I were employed, absolutely not: I'm not going to violate my employment contract nor risk vacation time. Also, top performers are rarely unemployed.

Firstly, you are repeating propaganda you've heard in the media that simply isn't true. From the founders til today, the US has been highly anti-immigration. Secondly, population growth may have been great for the US economy, but it has also been terrible for average american workers and minorities ( especially blacks and native americans ). Thirdly, we benefited far more economically from war, conquest, slavery, genocide, expansion and resources than from immigration. Just because something is good for the economy doesn't mean it's good or moral. And just because something was good in the past doesn't mean it is good today.

Having said that, I'm actually for immigration. But H-1B isn't immigration, no more than human trafficking is immigration.

Immigrants, like Jerry Yang and Sergei Brin, can start and own businesses. Do you know what H-1B visa holders are forbidden to do? They can't start or own businesses. Interesting huh? I laugh whenever pro-H-1B visas try to lie about how H-1B visas is the reason why Yahoo and Google exists. When H-1B explicitly prevent you from starting businesses. Had Yang and Brin be H-1B visa holders rather than being actual immigrant americans, they would not have been able to create yahoo and google.

So the H-1B visa was created so that foreign workers can compete against american workers, but not against american business owners. Isn't that great for business owners?

If you are for immigration, workers rights and plain fairness, then you'd be against H-1B visas because it's purely exploitation by billionaires so that billionaires can profit.

Why not do away with H-1B visas and shift it to real immigration ( which I support ) so that they have actual rights and can start businesses themselves and create jobs?

How about a non-exploitive and fair immigration policy rather than a exploitive non-immigration visa like H-1B? How about we let these foreign workers compete against both the billionaire owners and the workers? Why protect billionaires from competition and subject stressed american workers with more competition?

I do buy Linus' argument, you need to be able to do native development.

It literally won't matter, as Linus explained. As the infrastructure will be x86. This is what he's saying. Unless a new paradigm emerges on drastically different tech, ARM has too far to go to catch up to create an isomorphic environment where the code is created. A few tenths of a percent of mac developers won't make a jot of difference.

That investment continued through the Cold War, taking man to the moon (and it continues to today).
The current issue is that most of the effort is done by humans right at the beginning of the process: CV screening & first calls.

If you're a recruiter, by the time you actually get to talk to a candidate, you're tired of screening and most of the time you do a half-assed call.

Plus it boggles my mind how very very few companies train the recruiters in understanding the technologies they have in their stack.

There are a lot of factors that add an incredible amount of friction and make it a very asymmetric process (as other have said above):

• plain human error
• job specifications with boilerplate text not being clear on what the role actually does
• often times the people doing the first screening don’t have a technical background
• resumes come in all shapes and formats, so it’s difficult to efficiently read them

And because of that asymmetry and supply-demand ratio, it’s actually quite hard to hire software developers that are suited to a company, tech environment & business needs.

(disclaimer, I work at WorksHub)

The way we're trying to solve the issue at WorksHub is by trying to get companies to open-source same part of their code-base so that a developer could submit a few PRs during the interviewing process.

This solves the issue of irrelevant technical interviews, gives an idea of how your coding environment will be right off the bat.

Basically the thing is to do as much of the process as possible using only tech and then leave the last part for the actual human interaction.

As I said in the other comment, everyone can value their contact information themselves, but I guess that most people value them >0. And >0 is not free, otherwise the company would not have any reason to get them.
And he's wrong. In the enterprise, the vast majority of devs are on Windows, for Java for example. That doesn't mean that their deployment target is Windows, most of the time it's Linux. And the development differences, chance of bugs, performance profiles are way different between OSes than they are between CPU architectures.
Does anybody actually enjoy doing that? At my company there are dozens of hacks ways to do that and none are seamles.

This doesn’t make sense. Plants captures CO2 by expending more (solar) energy than is released by burning coal/oil and releasing that CO2. So if we manage to produce enough clean energy to start turning CO2 into oil, we might as well stop burning oil altogether and just use that clean energy instead!
A lot of heavy rare earth metals can only be found in very limited concentrations in the earth's crust, with the largest concentrations all being from asteroid impacts. As a consequence, these metals are incredibly valuable. A single high-concentration asteroid, could provide more of these metals than has been mined in the history of the earth, in high concentrations, and may be able to make a host of applications economically viable, which previously weren't.

Hopefully I didn't misunderstand what you meant, but I'd argue that a hobby is exactly not instant gratification. That I would call entertainment.

In my opinion the gratification of a hobby comes from enjoyment of the process itself. For example, if you play music, drilling through the same couple of measures until it sounds right might not pay off until the end, which might take hours and hours of work across many days. If you don't enjoy the process then you won't take it up as a hobby, but that doesn't mean there is constant gratification. Even more, the end result might not be as good as a professional product -- but it's yours and it's the journey that counts.

I say that instant gratification is entertainment because I would compare that to playing games or watching a movie. There's no process there, it's just gratification.

An example would be the people that make emulators as a hobby. Across their journey they find so many special cases and undocumented behaviour that it is certainly a lot of work riddled with unexpected obstacles. But exactly that is the process of problem solving and ultimately what they enjoy.
