Longest we've gone in a single night is 2.2km; hoping to go a touch further tonight if conditions are good and batteries are fresh. Our longest mission went 4 days and travelled 3.6km with plenty of charging from the sun.

I'm using 4G cellular data to send commands to an onboard Raspberry Pi, with an Arduino running the solar power system. I drive it manually from mission control using the camera to see where we're going, though next year's rover should hopefully introduce limited autonomy too.

Thanks! I'll be crossposting the missions to Youtube too, for those that can't hit the timezone. :)
Indeed. To put some numbers to this, here's an account of a 90 km ride I did several years ago:

I was roped into a team entry for a Half Ironman. Despite being more of a runner, I did the 90 km bike leg which was effectively a solo "time trial" (no drafting allowed) on a standard road bike with clip on aerobars. After averaging 35.0 km/h on the mostly flat (~600m elevation gain) course, I was exhausted. The SRM Powermeter I borrowed for the race said I had averaged a "measly" 215 W!
Very smoothly.
I just need the basics: phone, maps, contacts, banking, Uber, spotify, etc. But I don't want the dopamine slot machines on my phone: facebook, twitter, snapchat, etc. I struggled to find a solution that could address this. Then I followed some suggestions from others on here to enable parental controls. So far it's worked great for me! Only my wife knows the password to unlock. I wish the industry could provide a better solution, but so far this has been working out well. I get to enjoy being out more without having that itch go waste time on my phone.

Is anyone putting Hunter in some special bad place? We've had four years of virtually every newspaper in the country covering Trump's family, personal life, business dealings, taxes, etc. in exhaustive detail. I think everyone agrees that nepotism and misinformation are bad, so surely journalists should critically examine all allegations of misconduct, even when it affects their preferred candidate?

Don't challenge state authority if you are not prepared to fight, have reasonable chance of winning and are ready to pay the price of failure.

If you are US citizen, you are forced to comply with the laws. The fact that you host something in Germany, doesn't mean it is not under sanctions.

If you tomorrow move your repo from github to codeberg and write "moved here so my iranian friends can have access to my work" - well chances are no one will notice. But if the state by bad luck puts their crosshair on you - don't be surprised if the result is the same as the Aaron Swartz case.

I am not claiming that you are even wrong. Just that when you are playing russian roulette - don't act surprised if there is a bullet.

In an atmosphere, yes, with the engine pointing forwards to slow you down, the head wind would blow nuclear dust all over you as you were braking.

In space, the exhaust just flies off into the distance no matter which direction you are facing.

A different but related problem: if you arrive at my space house for space dinner in your nuclear space car, it would be quite rude for you to shower me with nuclear space dust (from when you hit the nuclear space rocket brakes to stop at my house) moments before you arrive.

This isn’t an issue if you go into orbit around a planet, where the braking maneuver is at right angles to the direction to the planet surface.
HR departments pay big bucks for access to this kind of data: job descriptions, bands, and regional cost of wages. Makes me wonder if they were running afoul a licensing agreement or other companies were using this instead of paying for the data themselves.

golang is anemic in front of Java (the JVM, the language, and the ecosystem) and introduces its own set of gotchas. Once Java gets green threads (by means of Project Loom), golang will be an extremely difficult sell for anyone considering a new project.

Your parent commenter is talking about AIOs, which are premade water cooling systems. Fixed radiator, hard connected to a pump. Nothing you can route out of your PC.

And historically, bigger case fans have been problematic, those 200mm fans they tried to introduce some years ago. Bad static pressure if I recall correctly?

Also, I wouldn't call having a radiator and fan inside the PC silly. The case eats a lot of the noise already, it's the easy and the common setup, and good AIOs are quiet and cool well. But maybe you just wanted to share a cool big water cooling setup with everything noisy routed into the basement ;)
It's known as "the Fed put". Whenever rich people have taken on too much risk the fed has been printing money to keep asset prices high so no one gets hurt. Im sure you know that the Fed is even directly buying corporate bonds now. This is paid for by main street through the inflation tax.

> There's no profit in building custom PC's anymore, so local computer shops aren't selling them (And if they are, it's at a hefty premium).

Most (all) shops I have seen will sell you custom PCs for the price of the components. Unless you are talking about Entreprise ones (not sure if they do exist), most of these cater for gamers who are price-sensitive. But the components are the same, and you can pick an aluminum case instead of the RGB ones.

For someone who hasn't used sexprs or looked at an AST before, it might not be clear why a data structure and atomic elements are goals in the first place.

I tried to write an explanation but found it surprisingly difficult to articulate. In short, there's almost certainly other ways to accomplish the same thing but sexprs are dead simple and they work _really_ well in practice. Just go use them and it will make sense!

When I disconnect my laptop to work from another location I have all my open files in the same place, all my shells alive and ready to re- ssue their last commands without fiddling with a large history file.

I organized my windows and tabs and splits in such a way that it degrades gracefully when I switch from the external monitor and back.

How often often do I really need that? Not often, but when I do it's really useful.
This is the real complacency

Did someone really think "well it takes 40min, what can you do about it?" and just left it as such?

I knew people who would have that mentality in companies that are not around anymore. Take it as you want.

Yes, git is hard, but you know, maybe someone else has a better idea, or you can check SO, etc. (I don't even know why they were adding the refspecs there)
latency in audio is definitely a big deal. I've definitely had the experience many times of starting to talk a second or two after someone else finishes, only to find someone else had started talking - and all this takes is maybe 500ms of delay to become super noticable.

I've also found it extremely noticable when someone is screen sharing, and their screen share lags behind their audio several seconds often. If they are going through an interface fast, it can be hard to tell what they are referencing on their screen.
FWIW, there are some people who laugh joyously at matters that you don't laugh at.
Final Thoughts (copied from site) :

(+) Display and battery replacements remain a priority in the new iPhones' design.

(+) Most other important components are modular and easy to access or replace.

(-) Liberal use of screws is preferable to glue—but you'll have to keep them all organized, and bring out your special drivers (pentalobe, tri-point, and standoff) in addition to the standard Phillips.

(-) Increased waterproofing measures complicate some repairs, but make difficult water damage repairs less likely.

(×) Glass on front and back doubles the likelihood of drop damage—and if the back glass breaks, you'll be removing every component and replacing the entire chassis.
My point is: if you are against Zoom's policy, you can't really afford not to use it if your workplace is using it.
It's a very mediocre language with many poor design decisions. It only got traction because of the Google name behind it (it's predecessors designed at other companies were barely recognized).

It's ok for writing small tools or simplistic web servers. For complex non-trivial applications, it is very poor at modeling, which introduces a lot of friction when dealing with larger code bases. Performance is adequate and nothing to brag about (it sacrifices throughput for latency) and compiling speed took a hit when they rewrote the compiler from C to golang. Linking times are quite abysmal for larger projects.

Depending on what you want to do, there are superior alternatives. Java and C# are both better in almost every aspect (and keep closing the gap when it comes to low latency and small footprint), and Rust is also a potential viable option if you are running in a memory constrained environment.
Client devices, I think - filtering that happens transparently and without an easy way to disable is just asking for problems - I couldn't deal with having to log in to the DNS management console every time when a website notices that ads didn't load and therefore doesn't display content. I don't think we're at a point where privacy can be guaranteed by technology choices - it's all about behavior of end users (like avoiding websites which block content if ads don't load ;-)

Is it possible these privacy/filtering DNS services like NextDNS come without a performance hit? Imagine setting it up and forgetting about it, and discovering later that all your DNS queries happened with a substantial lag - it's like realizing you've been driving with a hand brake on
What's good for them isn't necessarily bad for us as a result of that.

For a Hohmann transfer orbit you need at least two burns, the perigee burn to put you into the elliptical transfer orbit and the apogee burn to circularize that orbit at your destination. Even free return trajectories can require a secondary burn. So in many situations throwing your engines away is not a great idea.

An NTR can be designed such that the engine and spacecraft "chassis" are reusable over multiple missions. NASA has/has an NTR concept with such a reusable vehicle. The fuel tanks are disposable and slot into the central frame like AA batteries. The crew portion would be a TransHab-like habitation module with a docked crew capsule and Mars lander. Propellant tanks would be disposed of during the mission and the vehicle parked in Earth orbit between missions. For a new mission propellant tanks would be fitted along with a new crew and off it goes. It's an interesting design but a little passed the current bleeding edge of in-orbit construction.

A quick brain protocol (Siemens market “Go brain”) takes 5 minutes and gives very good image quality.

I've seen 10x more people on HN criticising their compensation model than being pleased about their honesty about their compensation model, so this is an understable reaction to incentives as created.

I am not attempting to promulgate any opinion about their compensation model or their chosen level of openness, only to point out that if the compensation model is working for them and they want to keep it, closing it off is a logical choice on their part.

At Legal and General we use hyperleder to power Estuare, the first pension risk transfer reinsurance in production. Our reinsurer is based in Bermuda and given the population is only 64K and has very few unemployed actuaries, it is hard to scale the reinsurance business via hiring people. Thanks to Estuare monthly operations related to high value contracts with insurers can be fully automated and allow the business to scale. Given that the insurer and reinsurer can both introduce new data and eiter sides used to do extremely complex calculations in a spreadsheet to validate how much money needs to flow in which direction each month, the process would take weeks due to often human error. With Estuare the process now takes minutes and is fully auditable, which for contracts that can run 50 years is important, as well as allowing previous data updates to be incorporated immediately instead of once a year.

A blind computer repair person just happens to get Hunter Biden's computer. He conveniently cannot ID the person but is able to search emails. Bill Barr with the resources of the US government seems unable to provide clear evidence of Joe Biden's breaking the law. Sound's plausible to me.

Freedom of speech is not Freedom to lie. The Constitution only states that Congress shall pass no law prohibiting free speech. Corporations can legally choose what is made available on there site. Fox News does it daily. Nobody seems upset about that.
This is a major source of cognitive dissonance.

Before social media, the average person had little to no interest in the internet - or PCs in general - aside from email and instant messaging apps. The internet has changed, but it's 99.9% because more people are using it, and their interests and needs are best served by 'it just works'.

This change, along with progress in general, has also made life better for technical folks. General purpose computing is dead? Come on. Desktop Linux actually works. Municipal fiber is a thing. Capable enterprise hardware is available online for less than a second hand iPhone, and if you don't have a couple of hundred to spend, a VPS costs less than a hamburger.

The internal link is: 35.196.91.102.nip.io (using a service that automatically points the subdomain of numbers at the corresponding IP).

It seems like a really bad idea to use these for a security sensitive product, as an attack on the redirection site or its software could silently change which IP the address points to. IDK why GitLab couldn't use a subdomain of their own name or just buy a new one if needed.
I’m not a sonographer but there appear to be liver images where there should be brain images.

As a CEO for a bootstrapped tech startup, coincidentally using Gitlab for our repo, Gitlab's (free) compensation calculator was a godsend as I analyzed the costs of hiring and scaling up. I would never have had access to salary information as nice as this, had Gitlab not put it out there. I certainly don't "deserve" such nice resources on the web, and I appreciate it while it lasted, but is there a way I can find a replacement for information like this?
Everything about the VR investment is a mid- to long-term bet. So "they really don't have the tech yet" doesn't really mean much, since they probably will have the tech in the next few years. Both in a better (data gathering) VR platform and better facilities to analyze the gathered data. Maybe it was built by naive techies but it is a new data stream and FB has shown that if they can mine it, they will.
Those are good ideas, but the first one should have been:

we do know the number was 1B in 2014 when oracle blurted it out in court.

We know Mozilla's numbers for a similar type of deal from that era and now. We also how market share and absolute devices have trended from 2014 to now.

Apple' s dominance in mobile and mobile as platform having a larger impact on search then web.

Putting it altogether 8-12B is a fair estimate.

To see it another way, if google is ready to pay mozilla $500 M / year with a browser in single digit market share and predominant presence only in web, 20x to apple is pretty easy

7 Things I’ve learned after 10 years of trying to make it on the internet
Two options: You can just get a quiet graphics card. There are a bunch of them, even high end cards, that come with good coolers. Look for example at reviews of the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5700 XT.

If you do not need a strong graphics card you can always just get a weak one, with less energy usage. GT 1030 for example, though that's really weak, but it's also just a 30W card.

Or depending on the processor you need you can use the integrated graphics. The AMD Apus are pretty great, Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G - and there are new 4000 versions that can be be bought in kits or OEM machines. Intel has their own weaker integrated graphics on most of their processors, even their stronger units, for just office work strong enough.
> On a single core, Chromium surely takes hours to build.

Earlier this year Bruce Dawson had a post indicating that it took about a CPU-day, though coalescing files (“jumbo builds”) significantly reduces build time (we’re talking down to 5h), however that’s at the expense of incremental building, and it constrains the code as you can get symbol collisions between the coalesced files.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I've had similar experiences with larger programs in golang. It's quite terrible to deal with, and overly verbose. I'd say anything more than 2000-3000 lines and golang becomes tedious to manage (and that isn't much given how verbose golang is).
Mostly agree with you but MacBook pro speakers are better than most tvs builtins these days.

Also for whatever reason the desktop screen market doesn't know about retina style high ppi displays. It's a shame, same with dropping 16:10.
Yes, this. Also, I hate interrupting people, and hate being interrupted. In real life meetings though it's somewhat easier to tell if the other person is confused or wants to say something and give them a chance to speak.

This is maybe the best introductions to Lisp i have seen, especially for a js dev like me it could hardly get more approachable and convincing.

I could not help but thinking at the end, this is really awesome but s-expressions are kind of hard to read and reason about for my brain, it would be cool if we could generate them from more readable syntax, maybe something like javascript :D . Unfortunately the standard js AST seems to be not a great fit but i found a S-Expression encoder for js AST https://github.com/anko/eslisp

This way instead of having to write s-expressions manually we took a whole circle and are back at js but with macros, not relying on eval and having a code is data representation...

It was never a good system, but it was certainly less obviously broken and destructive to society then than it is today.
